I've been dealing with this for a long time. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.
Having backups accessible on the same network and with the same identity makes them part of the target. Proven by experience.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.
Hope this helps.

Let me clarify the technical side. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.
That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

I've been down this road, let me tell you. The real issue isn't the number but what it's based on.
Proven by experience.

I've been down this road let me tell you. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.
Hope this helps.

We've heard this a lot, but it never happened like that for us. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.
Hope this helps.

we got stuck at the same point for a while. tbh an automated scan report is not the same as a penetration test.

generally correct but one part is missing but like forgotten test environments are more often the entry point than live systems.
don't rely on a single measure; go layer by layer then just leaving this note, it might be useful.

To get into the details: Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.
This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
