Scope Checker
Built by Digital Rascal Marketing
โ๏ธ They Asked for "Just One More Thing"
Now You Can Bill for It โ With Receipts.
Scope Checker helps freelancers and agencies track out-of-scope client requests in real time, categorize them, and turn scope creep into revenue.
No more awkward emails. No more free work. No more scope guesswork.
๐ The Insight
Every freelancer, designer, and dev knows the feeling:
- "Can you just tweak this one thing?"
- "Quick fix, right?"
- "Shouldn't take long..."
Multiply that across 3 revisions, 5 pages, and 12 Slack messages โ and suddenly you've lost days of unpaid time.
We saw the pattern. No one had a clean, fast way to track scope creep as it happened โ let alone bill for it later.
๐ง The Build
Scope Checker is a lightweight, real-time tracking app that:
- Logs scope requests as they arrive (email, Slack, meetings, etc.)
- Lets you tag entries by type: Page, Feature, Revision, Bug, etc.
- Exports entries into a branded Scope Report or invoice addendum
- Includes optional client-facing notes for each entry
- Tracks potential upsell value of each added item
It's a low-friction way to track everything you're doing โ and everything you should be paid for.
๐ The Shift
Scope creep isn't just a project risk. It's an invisible drain on profit margins โ and you're the one eating the cost.
Scope Checker makes the invisible visible โ and billable.
Whether you charge hourly or flat-rate, this is your paper trail, invoice backup, and audit log in one.
๐งฐ How It Works
- Create a project or client folder
- Log scope items as they arise
- Add notes, value, or justification (optional)
- Export as PDF or CSV for invoicing
- Share client-friendly version or use internally
You can even preload your original project scope โ and track against it.
๐ฅ Built For
- Freelancers trying to protect their time
- Web agencies tired of overdelivering
- Designers doing endless "quick tweaks"
- PMs managing client expectations
- Anyone who wants to charge what they're worth
