Review the work definition

Check the outcome, deliverable counts, formats, supported states, exclusions, and completion criteria.

Remove internal jargon and confirm that the client can understand the result without a meeting.

Review the operating plan

Check start conditions, client inputs, owners, feedback windows, milestones, revisions, acceptance, and change control.

Confirm that dependencies and late responses have a stated schedule effect.

Review the money

Recalculate fees, quantities, tax, deposits, milestone balances, add-ons, and due dates.

Make sure the final price still covers the work, coordination, revision allowance, and risk described by the scope.
