A short commission needs boundaries as clear as a long one. The pack uses a letter format for consultation, feasibility or limited work. Describe deliverables and required inputs. Specify revision rounds, travel and excluded studies where relevant. Brevity must not turn a focused question into a promise to resolve the entire project. Replace template payment terms with the actual agreement.
Prepare the project inputs
Precise purpose, deliverables, limits, duration, fees and agreed payment terms. Keep reference copies and identify their versions. Missing inputs must remain visible before generation.
Fictional example to check
Fictional example: one visit and a feasibility note are included, but not a complete survey or application submission. The letter distinguishes these deliverables from services needing a further agreement. “Feasibility” must not imply an obtained administrative authorization.
Review before use
Compare the letter with the original commercial discussion and review exclusions. Professional guidance on written contracts also matters for limited commissions. Confirm the scope before treating the engagement as agreed.
