Structured change requests: handle out-of-scope work professionally

Scope creep rarely arrives as a big demand. It arrives as a series of small, reasonable-sounding requests, each one easy to say yes to, that together add up to a project well beyond what was quoted. By the time you notice, the extra work is already done and unpaid.

The fix is not to be rigid. It is to make out-of-scope work a clear, agreed step rather than an informal favor.

Every extra request becomes a change request

When a client asks for something beyond the agreement, reveald routes it through a structured change request. The work is described, priced, and approved before any of it begins, so both sides know exactly what is being added and what it costs.

• The client submits a request for work outside the original scope.
• You describe and price the change.
• The client approves it before the work starts.
• The additional work is documented and billable, not absorbed.

Protects both sides

A documented change request protects you from doing unpaid work, and it protects the client from surprise charges. Expectations are written down and agreed to, which keeps the working relationship clear and professional.

Get paid for the work you actually do

With structured change requests, nothing extra slips through unbilled. Your original scope stays intact, and every addition is priced and approved on the record.
