ScopeGuard: Scope Creep

Stop unpaid scope creep before the extra work begins. ScopeGuard compares an agreed project scope with a new client request. It helps freelancers, consultants, and small agencies identify likely additions, expose unclear boundaries, and prepare a professional response before committing time. PASTE TWO THINGS Add the relevant agreement or scope of work, then paste the client’s new request. SEE THE BOUNDARY ScopeGuard separates likely covered commitments from potential additions and lists the questions that still need a written answer. CALCULATE YOUR IMPACT Enter only your own additional hours, rate, and schedule impact. ScopeGuard calculates from those values—it never invents prices, hours, or deadlines. SEND A CLEAR NEXT STEP Copy or share a diplomatic draft that asks the client to clarify or approve the change before extra work begins. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads, analytics SDK, or developer-operated cloud service is required. On supported devices, Apple’s on-device language model improves the bounded comparison and drafting. A deterministic local analysis remains available when the model is unavailable. ScopeGuard is a drafting and comparison aid, not legal advice. Review the signed agreement and confirm changes with the client before beginning work.
