Spot the change
Separate clarification from revision, swap, or genuinely new work.
CLIENT CHANGES, UNDER CONTROL
Stop doing
unpaid extras.
ScopeShield helps freelancers and small agencies turn every vague “one more thing” into a clear decision: included, swapped, deferred, or approved as paid work.

THE QUIET TAX ON YOUR WORK
What does “just a small change” cost you?
Use a rough month. Most people undercount because they remember the big rewrites—not the ten-minute favours.
Estimated monthly leakage$1,350
Potential annual leakage$16,200
Illustrative estimate only. ScopeShield helps create a process; it cannot guarantee recovery or payment.
