Convert one internal ask into a contractor brief with acceptance criteria

Internal Slack asks become contractor confusion. A brief with acceptance criteria prevents rework.

This hack: fifteen minutes, one internal ask to contractor-ready brief.

When to use it

• You're engaging a contractor or freelancer for a scoped slice.
• The internal ask is still fuzzy.
• You can name done.

When not to

• The work is employment-shaped ongoing ops. Different contract type.
• Legal must issue the SOW. Scaffold then hand off.
• You don't control budget. Get approval first.

Do this (timer on)

1. 1. Paste the internal ask.
2. 2. Add acceptance criteria, inputs, deadline, out-of-scope.
3. 3. Send brief for confirmation before work starts.
