For Agencies with Packages & Fixed-Fee Projects

What did we actually agree to?

For agencies that sell defined deliverables — monthly packages or fixed-fee projects. When the "can you also…" message lands, the answer comes from the record, not from you.

Inbox — this week
Priya (client) Wed 4:12pm

Hey — could we squeeze in a third reel before Friday? Should be quick.

Marcus (client) Tue 9:47pm

Just a couple of small tweaks after the last round — same headline area, different photo.

Danielle (client) Mon 11:03am

While you're in there on the site, mind swapping the landing page for the summer campaign?

Recognition — the messages you already know

They don't arrive in a kickoff call. They arrive in a Slack DM, an email at 9pm, a text on Friday. Each one is small. Each one is sincere. Each one lives outside what your agreement actually covers, and each one waits for the account owner to remember exactly what was agreed — under the pressure of a client who's just asking a question.

The problem isn't the client. The problem is that the record of what was agreed is scattered across a kickoff deck, a signed SOW, three emails, and one person's memory. So the answer becomes whatever the account owner has energy for at 9:47pm on a Tuesday. Some weeks that means the third reel, the extra tweaks, and the landing page swap all quietly happen. No one priced them.

Boundary — what a record holds

A record is the shared answer to "what did we agree to." It holds the deliverables and their counts, the revision rounds and what actually counts as a round, the turnaround, extras and their rates, the fee and payment terms, the term and notice period, and what the client needs to provide for the work to move. It's not the agreement — the agreement is the agreement. It's the working memory of the agreement, in one place, that both sides confirmed and both sides can return to.

Action — three verdicts, one calm reply each

Included
Cites: "Small photo swaps and headline copy tweaks are part of the two revision rounds included per month."
The photo and headline swap is included — copy tweaks are covered under our agreement (SL-2210, clause 2). I'll fold it into this round and have the updated page to you by Thursday.
Additional work
Cites: "Two reels per month; additional reels quoted separately."
Happy to add the third reel. The record confirmed two reels for this month (SL-2210, clause 4), so a third is Additional work — I'll put together a separate estimate for the added production and timing before we start. Want me to send that over, or log it for next month?
Needs clarification
Cites: "Landing pages built from the approved template library; new campaign builds quoted separately."
We confirmed builds from the approved template library (SL-2210, clause 6). A summer campaign landing may be an extras item — it depends on whether it uses an existing template. Can we hop on a quick call so I can quote it right?

Relationship — your contract has the rule. It doesn't have the moment.

Your agreement is written for the disagreement that never happens. It's not written for Tuesday at 9:47pm, when a client asks a small question and the account owner has to decide, in that moment, whether saying "that's beyond our scope" is worth the goodwill. The record is what changes the moment. The reply speaks as the record — here's what we confirmed, here's the verdict, here's the next step — so the owner stays the person who wants to help. The record is the boundary. You get to stay yourself.

The record answers, so the account owner doesn't have to argue.

Fair questions

Is this a contract?

No. ScopeLinq is a shared record of what was agreed, confirmed by the client, that sits alongside your agreement — not in place of it. Your MSA and SOW still do their job; the record answers when a new ask arrives.

Does it work for retainers and for fixed-fee projects?

Yes, both. The record holds the deliverable count either way — reels per month on a package, page templates on a fixed-fee build — and answers when a new ask lands against it.

What about "it's easy with AI" asks?

The record still holds the count. When the client says a third reel should be quick because AI helps, the reply cites the two reels that were confirmed and opens the price conversation for the third. The tool doesn't debate the effort — it cites the number.

How do I stop scope creep?

The record is the answer. When both sides confirmed what was included, revision rounds, turnaround, and what an extra costs, each new ask has a verdict instead of a debate. The account owner isn't the bad guy — the record is.

What does it cost?

$29 a month, founding rate for the first 50 paying agencies. Free stays useful too: unlimited records, 5 request checks, and 3 change orders per record.
