Automatic drift detection
Every revision request is compared against your locked brief. Language that signals expansion, new deliverable nouns, and requests for formats that were never agreed get flagged as they arrive.
Scope Protection
Every request checked against your locked brief, classified by risk. When something falls outside, the change order is already drafted.
The problem
A client asks for one small thing. Then another. Individually none of them feel worth raising. Collectively they are a second project delivered for free. Most creatives absorb it because the alternative is an awkward conversation with no documentation behind it. The awkwardness was never about the money. It was about not having anything concrete to point to. Trame gives you the document, so the conversation becomes a formality instead of a confrontation.
What it does
Every revision request is compared against your locked brief. Language that signals expansion, new deliverable nouns, and requests for formats that were never agreed get flagged as they arrive.
Requests are sorted into Within Scope, Possible Addition, Likely Out of Scope, and Clear Out of Scope so you know how firm the ground is before you raise anything.
When drift is confirmed, generate a professional change order pre-filled with the project details, a description of the addition, and a suggested price based on your rate.
Your client receives the change order by email and responds with one click. No negotiation thread, no awkward call, no chasing.
Accepted change orders become line items on the project invoice without any manual entry. The money you agreed to is the money you bill.
Set how many revision rounds are included when you lock the brief. Trame tracks which round you are on and flags when the project moves past what was agreed.
How it works
Scope protection only works with a baseline. The locked brief is what every future request is measured against.
Deliver, collect feedback, and revise. Trame watches the revision requests in the background without getting in your way.
When a request falls outside the brief, Trame flags it with a classification and a recommendation. You decide whether to raise it or absorb it.
One click generates the document. Your client accepts or declines by email. Accepted work becomes a billable line item automatically.
I used to have this conversation over WhatsApp and feel awkward about it every single time. Now I just click a button.
Scope protection runs on every project, automatically.
