Explanation

A Statement of Work (SoW) is a project document that defines the scope and execution of work, so Schedule (A) and Technical Considerations (D) are natural fits: the schedule establishes timelines and milestones that govern delivery, while technical considerations capture the specifications, methods, and standards that define how the work is actually performed. Contract Administration (B) is a management function that sits outside the SoW itself, belonging instead in the broader contract or project governance framework. Legal Matters (C) are addressed in the contract's terms and conditions, not in the SoW, which focuses on work scope rather than legal obligations. Financial Matters (E) are similarly handled in pricing schedules or contract attachments, not in the working outline of the SoW.

Memory tip: Think of the SoW as answering two core questions - "What, exactly, will be done?" (technical considerations) and "By when?" (schedule). If an item answers something else entirely, such as who is liable or how much it costs, it belongs in a different document.
