Source-grounded notes
What this page is grounded on
- This industry page contains a distinct scope, pricing and acceptance workflow rather than replacing a profession word in generic copy.
- The examples are practical quote fields, not legal terms or industry compliance advice. The business remains responsible for its actual offer, price and agreement.
- The accepted quote and final invoice should remain separate records so changed scope and completed work can be traced.
