SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scope management across the lifecycle of a legal matter ensures baselines are maintained, changes are captured, and client outcomes are predictable, reducing budget surprises and misaligned work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard scope summary that captures the 3-5 key assumptions at matter setup and flags changes for review.
  • Simple OOS list to log out-of-scope items with source references and client-facing drafts.
  • Client communication drafts that transparently present scope changes and recommended next steps.
  • Extended scope management including a full scope register, fortnightly pulse checks, and scope retrospective at matter close.
  • Cross-skill handoffs to budget, timeline, and risk-management workflows for cohesive matter governance.
  • M365 connected mode capabilities to surface scope signals from emails, auto-capture source references, and draft OOS entries for review.

Quick Start

Provide the matter's baseline scope data (engagement letter or scope proposal), and the skill will generate a baseline scope summary and the initial OOS framework, ready for review.
