Feature deep dive

Scope visualization:
agreed vs added, in one screen

The client view turns your Scope Baseline and every logged add-on into a single read-only page. Share one link — the client sees exactly what was agreed, exactly what was added, and what it costs.

The problem

Scope creep isn’t a billing problem. It’s a visibility problem.

You can feel the extra work. You just can’t point at it. And what you can’t point at, you can’t charge for.

“I thought that was included”Without a written baseline, the boundary is whatever each side remembers.
The awkward money talkAsking for more money mid-project feels personal — so most freelancers just eat the hours.
Screenshots and chat logs don’t add upEvidence scattered across five chat apps is not an invoice.
Anatomy

This is the page your client opens

No account, no app install, no editing. Just the scope — and the arithmetic already done.

Context, not confrontation

The page opens with the project and who shared it — framed as a shared record, not a demand.

The baseline stays green

Everything agreed is marked in scope. It never moves, so the client can always see what they already bought.

Each addition carries its own time

Hours and amount sit on the same row as the request — no lump sum, nothing to dispute in the abstract.

One sentence does the math

The summary states the total in plain language, so nobody has to add up a column in front of the other person.

Capabilities

Built to be forwarded, not argued with

One token link

Generate, send, done. Works in any browser, on any device, with no account on the client side.

Read-only by design

The client can read and forward, never edit. Your account, rates and other projects stay invisible.

You choose what shows

Hide amounts and show hours only, or hide both and share the list alone. Internal notes never leave your account.

Always current

Log a new add-on and the same link updates. No re-exporting, no “final_v3_really_final.pdf”.

Creep Meter built in

The same numbers you see in your dashboard — extra hours, extra amount, percentage over scope.

Bilingual out of the box

The client view renders in English or 中文 — pick per link, so overseas clients read it in their language.

Three steps

From logged item to shared link

The whole loop takes about a minute, and you only do it once per project.

STEP 01

Lock the baseline

Deliverables, revision rounds, quote and scoped hours. This is the reference every later item is measured against.

STEP 02

Log add-ons as they land

One line per request, with hours. Do it while the message is still on screen — 30 seconds, then back to work.

STEP 03

Share the link

Send it before the add-on invoice, not with it. By the time the invoice arrives, the client has already seen the reasoning.

Privacy

Sharing scope should never mean sharing everything

Protected

Revocable anytime

Kill the token and the page is gone — including for anyone the client forwarded it to.

Protected

Scoped to one project

A link exposes exactly one project. Your other clients never appear in it.

Protected

Row-level access

Data sits behind row-level rules on a secure cloud backend. Private until you share it.

Protected

No client tracking

The client view carries no ad tech. It renders scope and nothing else.

You already did the work. You shouldn't have to argue to get paid for it.
