I have two Word documents: [doc=ProjectScope_v1.docx] and [doc=ProjectScope_v2.docx]. Show the editorial differences and produce a one-paragraph summary of scope changes so I can brief the client in this afternoon’s call.

Improve — make it easier to accept

The client, Sarah, will skim and worry about schedule slippage.

The client emailed a revised [doc] that appears different from our signed scope; I must not agree to scope creep but also don’t want to stall the kickoff. Compare the two documents, identify additions that materially change deliverables, estimate whether those changes affect timeline or budget, recommend one of three next moves (accept as clarification, negotiate a change order, or refuse), and provide the exact language for the response I should send to the client.
