The scope doc that pays for itself
Scope creep kills freelance and small studio profitability. A written scope, agreed upfront and referenced when 'just one more thing' arrives, keeps projects on budget and preserves the relationship.
This template covers the essentials without becoming a legal doorstop.

Who this is for
Freelancers and studios kicking off client projects. Also useful for clients about to commission work.

Common questions
Do I need this if I have a contract?
Yes — different documents. Contract is legal terms. Scope is what's being built. Both should reference each other.
Want us to build it with you?
The template is free. If you'd rather have someone else fill it in with you, we're around.
