Document comparison: scope & boundaries
Define the outcome before requesting a price. Start with two approved document versions and plan a cited change summary.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- two approved document versions.
- Proposed result
- a cited change summary.
- A decision to resolve
- formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Scope & boundaries for this project
- Define the task, allowed knowledge sources and tools. Specify when the agent must stop and ask a person.
- Use “a cited change summary” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
- Resolve this boundary early: formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit.
Questions to answer together
- Who uses the result, and what decision does it support?
- Which part of the current process is included?
- Which exceptions and adjacent tasks are excluded?
What to have at the end
A bounded scope with an owner, an intended result and explicit exclusions.
Record the decision on formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
