of extra work is priced and decided before it starts — nothing slips in unbilled.
is all your client needs. No accounts — a secure portal for every decision.
The problem
Client work fails in the gaps between conversations.
01
The brief lives in six places
Email, chat, calls, a doc somewhere. Nobody can point to what was agreed.
02
“That was included, right?”
Verbal agreements turn every revision into a negotiation about memory.
03
Scope creep goes unbilled
Small additions pile up silently. The project grows — the invoice doesn’t.
The workflow
Three steps. Each has a client-facing view.
Everything you publish has a matching client page — no accounts, no attachments, just a secure link. Every decision is recorded against the exact version shown.
Collect a useful brief
Build the questionnaire from templates, mark required questions, send one secure link. Answers and files land in the project — not your inbox.
