Contractor / Freelancer Agreement

Work out IP assignment, confidentiality, and payment terms before a contractor or agency starts — so ownership of what they build for you is never in question.

What you walk away with

A real document, built from everything you worked through — then critiqued the way a tough reviewer would and polished round by round. Plus a project summary that shows your work.

17 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01Who are you bringing on, and what will they actually be doing — development, design, writing, something else?
  2. 02Is this a solo freelancer, a small agency, or a platform-sourced contractor (Upwork, Toptal, etc.)?
  3. 03Do you already have a template or standard agreement you've used before, or is this the first one?

+ 12 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.

The first five questions of any project are free — no card required.
