Assembling a professional Statement of Work (SOW) manually can take hours of hunting through discovery notes, CRM fields, and technical requirements. SiftHub’s Draft Statement of Work Intent in the AI Teammate web app automates this process, allowing you to generate a comprehensive, ready-to-sign SOW in minutes.
By manually triggering this intent, you can quickly bridge the gap between a successful pilot and a final agreement, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on scope, milestones, and success criteria.
Getting Started: Triggering the SOW Draft
The Draft Statement of Work is a specialized intent available on your AI Teammate landing page.
Locate the Action Card: Open the SiftHub Web App and click the Draft Statement of Work card.
Identify the Prospect: Type the specific name of the prospect or deal into the input field (e.g., "Acme").
Submit: Click the arrow or press Enter. The AI Teammate will begin a deep-dive analysis of your CRM data, call transcripts, and requirements to synthesize the document.
Recommended Usage & Use Cases
This intent is most effective when you have moved past initial discovery and need to formalize the terms of an engagement or pilot.
1. Accelerating Pilot Kickoffs
Use this intent to ensure your technical and business teams are on the same page before a pilot begins.
Objective Alignment: Review the Customer Context and Objectives section to confirm that SiftHub has correctly captured the "Why" behind the engagement.
Technical Guardrails: Use the Solution and Technical Overview to define which data sources (e.g., SharePoint, Slack, CRM) will be in scope for the evaluation.
2. Standardizing Deal Governance
Avoid "scope creep" by generating a clear boundary for your services.
In-Scope vs. Out-of-Scope: The AI Teammate identifies specific activities included in the deal and explicitly lists out-of-scope items to manage expectations.
Milestone Tracking: The generated Timeline, Milestones, and Schedule provides a roadmap from kickoff to pilot review, ensuring the deal stays on track.
Under the Hood: The SOW Engine
When you trigger this intent, the AI Teammate performs a multi-step analysis across your deal history:
Contextual Synthesis: The system retrieves deal information from CRM and call transcripts to identify requirements and pain points specifically for the SOW.
Comprehensive Structure: The generated draft includes all standard legal and business sections, such as Engagement Summary, Deliverables, and Risks & Mitigation.
Data Integrity: Just like other intents, the AI Teammate respects your individual source access permissions while automatically redacting sensitive PII.
Expert Tips for the Best Experience
Transaction Management: Based on the volume of related call transcripts and connected sources analyzed, as well as whether web search is enabled or not, this intent consumes between 5 - 50 transactions dynamically.
Manual Sharing: SOW drafts generated via this intent live in your private conversation history. To share them with your team or legal department, you can use the Share button in the web app.
