Yes on SLAs. I’ve written this on other threads. I don’t recommend SLA penalties. It can be very challenging to extract penalty payments. Instead reverse it and offer performance bonus. Use two or three levels of bonus performance levels. The initial contract has the base level of performance that you need or you will cancel. Everything above that could be a performance bonusContent you might like
