Agency Scope Creep Doctor
Agency Scope Creep Doctor
Find the unpaid work hiding inside client messages.
Upload your agreement and client requests. Agency Scope Creep Doctor separates true additional work from ambiguous requests and provider-caused corrections, calculates the margin impact, and produces a ready-to-send Scope Recovery Decision Pack.
Start With Two Items
For a 60-second Boundary Scan, provide:
- The relevant SOW, proposal, contract, or agreement excerpt
- The client message or request causing concern
The Agent will classify the request, identify missing evidence, and draft a boundary-safe client reply.
No financial details are required to begin.
Add Numbers for a Full Scope Recovery Report
To calculate the financial impact, provide these details when available:
- Fixed project fee
- Original planned hours
- Internal cost per hour
- Additional-work billable rate
- Target project margin
- Estimated hours for each additional request
You may also upload client emails, chats, meeting notes, task logs, timesheets, invoices, and approved Change Orders.
What the Agent Checks
Every material request is classified as:
- In Scope
- Ambiguous Scope
- Out of Scope
- Client-Caused Rework
- Provider-Caused Correction
- Shared-Cause Rework
- Unclassified
The Provider Fault Veto prevents your own corrections or work required by the original agreement from being treated as chargeable scope creep.
What You Get
The Agent returns a complete Scope Recovery Decision Pack containing:
- Commitment Ledger showing what was originally promised
- Request Classification Ledger with exact evidence
- Evidence Coverage and Confidence
- Estimated Unbilled Scope Value
- Ambiguous Value at Risk
- Provider-Correction Cost
- Planned margin versus absorbed-work margin
- Minimum Change Order needed to restore the target margin
- Scope Recovery Scenario Simulator
- Guarded scope decision
- Ready-to-send client email
- Draft Change Order
- Revised SOW differences and invoice line items when supported
- One next-best evidence request
Guarded Decisions
The Agent issues one evidence-backed decision:
- Absorb Deliberately — intentionally accept a small concession
- Clarify Before Committing — resolve ambiguity before starting work
- Change Order — confirmed additional work requires a new fee
- Pause Before More Work — continuing would materially increase exposure
- Exit Candidate — strict commercial-risk conditions have been met
Low-confidence evidence cannot produce a Change Order, Pause, or Exit Candidate decision.
