Count rounds consistently
Describe a round as a consolidated set of feedback on a named deliverable. Check how the current project defined it; do not invent a new definition after the client has already supplied feedback.
Separate fixes from new direction
A correction to agreed work and a request for a different direction may need different treatment. Review the original brief, the delivered work and the reason for the feedback. Clearcut records the decision; it does not decide contractual responsibility for you.
Make the next round concrete
Write the deliverables covered, the person consolidating feedback, the proposed fee and the timing. A defined review round is easier to approve than an open promise to keep making changes.
- Name the deliverable being revised.
- Ask for one consolidated response.
- State what will be delivered after this round.
Close the loop
Save the addition, share the quote and review the response. If it is agreed, update the change status and delivery estimate. Keep the earlier baseline visible so the project’s history remains understandable.
