What the walkthrough covers

A 60-minute walkthrough in three parts, self-paced and free. Here is what it covers.

The 11 sections and 51 elements of the SoW Standard, and how they combine into one document structure both sides can trust. Name the sections, see how the elements are counted, and know when to use the Full, Medium, or Lite profile. The principles the sections carry hold in any template your company uses.

How the money moves: Time and Materials, open or capped; Fixed Price, priced per deliverable or per milestone; Outcome-Based, paid against a measured result. What each one pays for, who carries the risk, and how the choice changes what the document must say.

The failure patterns the standard prevents, and the free AI legal review prompts that catch them. AI does coverage, the human does judgement.

Pass the ten question check and the VSOWP credential is issued to your name.

Frequently asked questions

When does Verified open?

5 October 2026, at the World Commerce & Contracting Americas Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. Register interest and you will hear from us first.

Is there an exam?

No. Verified is a walkthrough, not an assessment. Complete it and the badge is yours.

Do I need Verified before a CSOWP track?

No. The four CSOWP tracks are independent and Verified is not a prerequisite for anything.

Does my company need to adopt the SoW Standard?

No. The walkthrough teaches the standard because it is the clearest worked example of the principles every sound SoW runs on: clear scope, testable acceptance criteria, money traceable to a pricing line, and formal change control. You will recognise them, and their absence, in any template your company uses.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Verified is free, per person, with no renewals.
