Why ranges exist

Responsibility changes the work.

Two businesses can ask for the same category of service and require very different implementation, security, data, ownership, support, and transition work. The written scope resolves those differences before approval.

Number of systems, vendors, locations, users, and devices involved

Migration depth, data quality, integration complexity, and cutover risk

Security posture, access cleanup, recoverability, and evidence requirements

Documentation, training, ownership, and handoff expectations

Timeline constraints, after-hours requirements, and stakeholder review cycles

Ongoing support, Care, reporting, governance, and change-management responsibility
