The Scope Creep Defense Swipe File
Word-for-word replies that protect your margins without losing the client.
Scope creep rarely arrives as a demand. It arrives as a friendly request, a "quick favour," or a "while you're at it." If you don't have a ready reply, you say yes, you resent it, and your margins quietly bleed. These templates give you the exact words to hold your ground, keep the relationship warm, and make the boundary feel like good service rather than a refusal.
