Discuss retained deliverables, retention periods and access before the project. Separate client handover files from team working copies. Requests to retain material for future updates or delete it should follow the agreement and applicable obligations.
Agree volume, delivery and revision responsibilities
Provide samples, volume, languages and intended use. A quotation should identify counting units, layout or revision work and delivery milestones. Establish feedback arrangements and separate error corrections from source changes. Agree confidential transfer and retention before sharing sensitive files. Clear scope helps compare providers and align delivery expectations.
Preparation checklist
- Volume, pricing basis and deliverable format.
- Milestones, priorities and approver.
- Corrections, new source content and deadline changes.
- Transfer, confidentiality and retention arrangements.

Illustrative scenario
A client expects a manual update in three months but wants limited source retention. The parties identify the files, custodian and deletion process for everything else.
Frequently asked question
Can page count alone fix the price?
