built a web app that tells freelancers if client requests are actually in the contract or just free work

Tools and Projects

So i freelanced for a while and kept getting burned by scope creep. client says hey can you add this feature and im sitting there like uh maybe that was implied in the contract? and i just do it because saying no feels weird. got annoying enough that i built scopeshield to handle it.

basically you upload your contract or SOW and when client emails asking for something you can check if its actually covered or if you should be billing extra. ai scans the contract and gives you a verdict.

the part I'm most happy with is the email gateway. you can literally just forward the client email to a specific address and get back a response telling you if its in scope plus a draft email to send back. no logging in no clicking buttons just forward and done.

other stuff thats live free version has a scope calculator and some templates

paid version is 20 bucks a month and has contract quality checker clause generator for adding protections you forgot ambiguity detector that flags vague terms before you sign like reasonable effort or as needed bad cop email writer that drafts the pushback email citing the actual contract clause saves 5 projects payments arent hooked up yet due to some paperwork issues running a 4 day free trial instead

version 2 coming in like 2 weeks with features for agencies but right now just focused on solo freelancers and small studios its at https://scopeshield.cloud

mainly want to know if the email gateway thing actually matters or if im solving a problem that doesnt exist. also open to any feedback on what sucks about it
