Working guide

Confirm extra work before starting it

A scope message should describe the new request without sounding defensive. It should separate the current agreement from the extra work and ask for one clear confirmation.

  1. Step 1Describe the original agreement in plain language.
  2. Step 2List the additional work you can identify now.
  3. Step 3Include hours, cost or date only when you have estimated them yourself.

Common questions

Is this a contract amendment?

No. It is a communication template for clarifying work. Use your normal contract process when a formal change is required.

Will the tool calculate my price?

No. Any hours or cost shown in the message must come from your own estimate.

Can I leave the cost blank?

Yes. The cost sentence is omitted when no value is entered.
