# Scope of Work

## Initial Scoping

In this phase, we collaborate closely with the client to define the scope, gather technical insights, and establish expectations for the engagement. This includes:

* Reviewing the relevant resources provided by the client, such as the codebase, test-suite and documentation to ensure that the client is fully prepared for the engagement.
* Identifying key focus areas within the project, including specific components, modules, or functionalities that require special attention.
* Estimating the necessary resources, timelines, and deliverables, based on the complexity and scope of the engagement.

This step is crucial to aligning both parties on expectations and ensuring that the engagement is fully tailored to meet the client’s goals.

## Information Gathering

Once the initial scoping is complete, we conduct a comprehensive review of all gathered information to ensure our team is fully equipped with the insights needed to deliver high quality results. We require:

* **Clear Documentation**: Well-documented code with detailed annotations to explain the logic, intended functionality, and any assumptions within the codebase.
* **Test Coverage:** A robust testing suite covering the vast majority of the codebase to facilitate the validation of findings. Ideally, clients should aim for 100% test coverage.
