Agreement Areas

The supported agreement areas are focus, intended outcome, practitioner responsibilities, client responsibilities, and timeframe or review point.

Draft and Confirmed States

The agreement can remain draft when responsibilities, timing, realism, or mutual understanding are unresolved.

Bounded Scope

The tool is a task-centered working agreement. It excludes broad consent language, billing terms, service policies, and unsupported treatment-plan fields.

Is this a legal contract generator?

No. Service Contract creates a task-centered working agreement about focus, responsibilities, timing, and intended outcomes.

Can the agreement stay in draft?

Yes. If responsibilities, timing, or shared understanding are unclear, the agreement remains draft or unresolved.

Does the tool require a target focus first?

Yes. If no target focus exists, the contract remains incomplete because the work to be done is not clear.
