Original: "The revision-limit clause that ends the scope spiral — and how to explain it without losing the deal"
Short summary
Unlimited revisions cause scope creep and disputes. Define revision rounds with consolidation windows in contracts (e.g., 2 rounds, 5 business days) to batch feedback and prevent drip-style changes. Frame as process improvement; additional rounds are billable at standard rates.
