body: [
"Provide content, feedback, and approvals on the schedule we agree to. Most projects that slip do so because feedback rounds drag — we'll flag it early if we see it happening.",
"Make sure you have the rights to anything you give us — copy, photos, code, brand assets. We'll assume you do.",
