Use numbered contract-style sections: 1) Project Summary; 2) Deliverables with exact quantities and file formats; 3) Timeline with milestone dates based on a {project_duration} schedule; 4) Investment, splitting the {project_fee} fee into deposit and milestone payments; 5) Scope Boundaries explicitly listing what is NOT included; 6) Revision Policy capped at {revision_rounds} rounds with hourly pricing for extras; 7) Approval & Sign-off. Write plain, firm, friendly language a non-lawyer can read in five minutes. Output as a Markdown document with a signature block at the end.Variables
