Tern Client Services: contracts document set README
Document set README for Tern Client Services. 30 files, 1 of them intentionally invalid, with the reconciliation identities, the declared parameters and the measured size of each deliberate defect named in full.
# Tern Client Services: master agreement, NDA, statement of work, engagement and separation documents
The agreements a services business signs and the registers it keeps to track them: a master services agreement and the three statements of work under it, a mutual NDA that predates both, an amendment, an acceptance certificate, an independent contractor agreement, an employment offer and a termination letter. Each narrative document ships as a PDF and, for seven of them, as a DOCX carrying the identical text, so the same contract can be put through two different readers and compared.
All parties, amounts and identifiers are fictional. Fixed snapshot: 2026-09-08. Records are derived from the shared operating model `crm-services`, so identifiers join across this set, across the other commercial document sets, and across every fixture built on the same model.
## Reconciliation identities this set asserts
- The three statement-of-work not-to-exceed values sum to 9,000.00 USD, the liability cap at clause 10.2 of the master agreement.
- Each statement of work allocates its full not-to-exceed value across exactly three deliverables: 2000.00, 3000.00 and 4000.00.
- Fees recorded on each project are the project hours at 100.00 USD and equal that project invoice: 7,200.00 USD in total.
- Contractor pay is the same hours at 60.00 USD, so the three contractors are owed 960.00, 1440.00 and 1920.00 USD, which is what the 1099-NEC slips in the tax set report.
- The employment offer and the termination letter both pay 42 rostered hours at the employee own rate, giving 1,176.00 and 1,344.00 USD, the same base pay the wave-one payroll register holds.
- Every cross-reference inside the three agreements resolves to a clause that exists in the same document, and every obligation names a clause that exists.
- Every non-empty file cell in contract-register.csv and signature-log.csv names a file that exists in this directory.
## Parameters this set introduces
These are properties of the document class, not of the operating model. They are declared once and every file in the set agrees with them.
- Contract terms and notice periods: master agreement 24 months from 2026-01-05 with 60 days notice, NDA 36 months from 2025-11-10, contractor engagement 12 months from 2026-07-01 with 30 days notice.
- The contractor pay rate of 60.00 USD per hour. The operating model records what work was billed at, never what a contractor was paid.
- The expense cap of 250.00 USD and its amended value of 400.00 USD from 2026-09-01.
- Deliverable names, due dates, acceptance criteria and the allocation of each not-to-exceed value across three deliverables.
- Notice expressed as one rostered cycle of 42 paid hours, used by the termination letter.

- Expected result
- The file table lists 30 entries including this README, and the deliberate-defect section names 1 file(s) with the measured size of each discrepancy.
What is a .md file?
Markdown (MD) is a lightweight plain-text markup language that uses simple punctuation conventions to denote headings, lists, links, emphasis, and code. It is designed to be readable as-is and to convert cleanly to HTML. It is widely used for documentation, READMEs, and content authoring.
How to use this file
Use an example Markdown file to test parsers and renderers, verify GitHub-Flavored Markdown extensions like tables and fenced code, and exercise HTML-conversion pipelines.
How to use this file for testing
“Tern Client Services: contracts document set README” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.
Documented properties for this file: MD · 6,661 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.
