1. Capture the ask
Drop in the baseline scope and the new request from Slack, email, or a call note.
For freelancers & solo shops · US-friendly
Paste the original scope and the new ask. ScopeLock builds a client-ready change order with price, timeline impact, sign-off line, and a copy-paste email — so “quick favor” becomes paid work.
No subscription. Not a CRM. Document preparation only — not legal advice, not a law firm.
CHANGE ORDER #CO-104 Project: Brand site refresh Added: Mobile checkout flow + 1 revision round Fee: $640 (8 hrs × $80) Schedule: +5 business days Status: Awaiting client sign-off Reply “approved” or sign below before work begins. — Business form / document prep. Not legal advice.
Drop in the baseline scope and the new request from Slack, email, or a call note.
Hours × rate or a flat change fee. ScopeLock shows impact on delivery date.
Copy the email, print a clean PDF, and don’t start until they say yes in writing.
Freelancers already know the fix — get approval before the extra work. ScopeLock makes that fix a one-pager instead of an awkward essay. Free templates still leave you formatting under stress. Subscription CRMs are overkill for a single change. This is the middle: open → fill → send.

Freelancers and small studios mid-project when scope creep hits. Not for AIA construction G701 workflows, multi-seat agency OS, or attorney-reviewed demand letters.
If you need attorney-reviewed demand letters, AIA construction forms, or a full agency OS, use a specialist. ScopeLock is for freelancers and small studios who need a fast, priced boundary before unpaid work starts.
