Well, probably what I'm doing is different from what you're doing.
I'm there to help them be agile, as a consultant, so they just get
to pay my daily or weekly rate (quite reasonable, given how much Ron
Jeffries you get, by the way).
If I were signing up to do a project on contract, that would be
different. But I'd sit down with the principals, talk through what
we were really saying, then try to get it written up. They would
want to use their lawyers, who wouldn't understand, so I'd probably
try to give the principals a few drafts before ever letting slip
the dogs of law.
So, my life has been fortunate, in that I can't help you much with
your contracts. That's good for me, if not so good for you. Sorry.
