The real problem
Scope creep rarely arrives looking like a major change.
It arrives as “one small tweak,” an extra revision, or a useful idea added halfway through. Each request can sound reasonable on its own. Together, they can turn a profitable job into unpaid work.
The cost stays invisible
A few extra hours feel harmless until they are multiplied across requests and projects.
The reply feels awkward
You want to protect the relationship, so the boundary is never made explicit.
Scope cost calculator
Put a visible number on “just one more thing.”
This simple estimate shows the value of extra work if it is not priced. It is a planning aid, not a revenue or savings guarantee.
Estimated value of unpriced work
£520 / month
£6,240 across 12 months if the pattern stayed the same
4 hours × £65 × 2 requests
This is the value of the time—not proof that every request is billable or that using a tool will recover it.

Evidence before claims
A product status should tell you what is proven—and what is not.
Proven delivery
The free and Toolkit builds have automated technical tests. Both Payhip checkout routes and their exact file deliveries were confirmed.
Not yet proven
Independent customer demand, paid sales, revenue, profitability and broad product-market fit remain unverified.
Deliberately absent
No fake testimonials, invented counters, urgency timers, automatic-AI support claim or guaranteed-income language.
The Foundry assurance layer
Useful facilities, clear boundaries, and evidence you can inspect.
These are practical safeguards built around the product—not decorative claims. Each one has a visitor benefit, a stated limit and a named place where its evidence can be checked.
Local-first privacy
Your scope text is designed to stay in your browser or downloaded product. The public site has no analytics, telemetry or remote processing.
Check the privacy principles →Human-controlled decisions
The tool can structure a comparison and draft a reply. It does not decide what your contract means or send anything for you.
Check the decision boundary →Claim-status clarity
Free and paid delivery routes are confirmed. Independent customer demand, ordinary paid sales and commercial success remain unproven.
Check the evidence standard →Reachable human support
A real support address is published. The site prepares an email locally and states clearly that it has not sent it automatically.
