Why wording and evidence often drive fee-agreement disputes

The title suggests the piece concerns disputes over business agreements about fees, but a title alone does not show which point the author develops. A useful angle is the difference between arguing about interpretation and arguing about evidence. In a hypothetical comparison, one dispute may turn mainly on the wording used for scope, rates or termination, while another may depend more on what can actually be shown from attendance notes, drafts, invoices and later correspondence. That distinction can matter because a seemingly strong textual point may look weaker if the surrounding documents pull in different directions, and vice versa. It also helps explain why rows about the same type of agreement can unfold very differently even where the headline issue sounds similar. Has anyone seen these disputes turn more on the paper trail than on the contract wording itself?
