The work arrangement defines scope, deliverables and cost. We will explain what will be prepared, the records needed from you and what determines the following stage. Changed circumstances will be discussed before changing the task.
Personal records are requested for the matter at hand. An initial message only needs a short description and the document involved; further requirements will be clarified in correspondence.
