A Statement of Work additionally carries a structured content object (scope summary, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, responsibilities by party, timeline, acceptance criteria), planned milestones (name, description, due offset, amount, acceptance criteria), and an internal reviewers' note.
A Contract additionally carries: an owner, term (months), auto-renew, renewal notice period (days), payment terms, governing law, liability cap, special terms, billing address, effective and expiration dates, an optional linked SOW, and a structured content object (obligations by party, notes).
Either document's structured content can be replaced with an uploaded rendered document instead of the form.
