A statement-of-work workspace for consulting engagements (strategy, operations, transformation) covering deliverable definition, hours-by-level fee structure, IP assignment, confidentiality, and clause precision drafted by the AI Contract Agent in Taskade.
What's Included
- Engagement Description: Engagement purpose, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.
- Fee Structure: Hours-by-level rates, monthly cap, and overage trigger; fixed-fee alternative with milestone payments.
- AI Contract Agent: Drafts clauses from your standard fallback library and surfaces risky language against your playbook.
- IP Assignment: Work-for-hire, license-back, and pre-existing IP carve-outs documented per matter.
- Term and Termination: Term length, renewal notice, and termination-for-convenience window with notice cadence.
Why This Template Wins
- Risky clause flagged early: AI Contract Agent compares incoming redlines against your fallback library so legal review is fast.
- IP assignment explicit: Work-for-hire vs license-back documented so post-engagement disputes are defensible.
- Hours-by-level locked: Bait-and-switch from partner pitch to associate delivery prevented at SoW.

FAQ
Does this work for fixed-fee vs T&M consulting SoWs?
Yes. Fixed-fee emphasizes deliverable lock and milestone payments; T&M emphasizes hours-by-level rate and budget cap. Switch the engagement mode in workspace settings.
Can the agent surface risky clauses?
Yes. Train the agent on your fallback library. It reads incoming redlines and flags clauses falling outside your playbook before legal reviews them.
What plan supports a consulting SoW pipeline?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the engagement. Business ($40/mo) adds the audit logs and approval workflows multi-engagement consulting practices typically require.
