Question 1

What does ScopeCard do exactly?

Accepted Answer

ScopeCard is a protection system for your existing proposal: you upload your PDF, see where unpaid extra work is likely and which rules for changes, sign-off, and additional work are missing. From there you generate a more complete proposal with protective clauses — tailored to your project, not generic from a template.

Question 2

How does ScopeCard help against unpaid extra work?

Accepted Answer

By making missing ground rules visible: when changes, sign-off, and extra work are set out in writing, additional effort can be addressed and charged for — instead of being swallowed by the fixed price. ScopeCard analyses your PDF and suggests clauses that fit your project.

Question 3

What is scope creep?

Accepted Answer

Scope creep is the growth of the project scope after the proposal, without price or contract clearly reflecting it. In practice: extra requests, additional rounds of revisions, and renegotiations without clear rules. The term is common in agency and IT work; many freelancers describe the problem more as unpaid extra work or missing ground rules — which is exactly where ScopeCard starts.

Question 4

Do I have to create my proposal in ScopeCard?

Accepted Answer

No. Keep creating proposals wherever you already do — Accountable, Kontist, Lexoffice, sevDesk, Word, Google Docs. Export as PDF and upload to ScopeCard. We add what's missing.

Question 5

How do I send the result to my client?

Accepted Answer

Attach the project terms as an addendum to your proposal. Your client receives a complete proposal: your deliverables and prices plus clear project rules. This is standard practice with professional service providers.

Question 6

Does ScopeCard replace my accounting tool?

Accepted Answer

No, quite the opposite. ScopeCard complements your accounting tool. Kontist, Accountable and others are perfect for invoices, receipts, and taxes. But they don't create protective clauses for your proposals. ScopeCard fills exactly that gap.

Question 7

What is the difference between ScopeCard and a proposal template?

Accepted Answer

A template is a blank document you have to fill in yourself. ScopeCard analyses your already-written proposal and automatically adds what's missing — tailored to your project, not generic.

Question 8

Is ScopeCard legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. ScopeCard generates industry-standard protective clauses as suggestions. For legal enforceability we recommend review by a lawyer. ScopeCard is a business tool, not a law firm.

Question 9

Are the generated clauses legally valid?

Accepted Answer

The clauses are based on common standards in freelance contracts and proposals. They are intended as a professional starting point, not as legally binding advice. When in doubt: have them reviewed by a lawyer.

Question 10

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

On servers in the EU (Frankfurt). Fully GDPR-compliant. Your proposals are not used for AI training and are not shared with third parties.

Question 11

Who can see my proposal?

Accepted Answer

Only you. Your uploaded proposals are tied to your account and are not visible to anyone else.

Question 12

Which file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently PDF. That is the format all accounting tools use when exporting proposals.

Question 13

Which industries are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any project-based service: web design, development, consulting, marketing, photography, video production, copywriting, illustration, and more. ScopeCard detects the industry automatically and adapts the clauses accordingly.

Question 14

How long does the analysis take?

Accepted Answer

About 60 seconds. You upload your PDF, ScopeCard analyses it and shows you what's missing. Then you can generate a complete proposal with one click.

Question 15

Can I customise the generated clauses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The generated proposal is a starting point you can adapt to your needs. You decide what stays and what goes.

Question 16

What does ScopeCard cost?

Accepted Answer

Light is free: 1 project, 3 analyses per month. Pro costs £19 per month (excl. VAT) with unlimited projects and 25 analyses per month. You can try Pro free for 14 days.

Question 17

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Not for the first free analysis. For saved projects and unlimited use, yes.

Question 18

Can I try ScopeCard first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Simply upload a proposal and see what ScopeCard makes of it. No credit card, no account required.
