"Can you just add one more thing?" is the most expensive sentence in freelancing. ScopeGuard tracks every change request so you get paid for every hour you work.

Until you calculate the hours. Then it hurts.
It starts innocent. A tweak here, an extra page there. Each one is "small." But 20 small changes later, you've done a completely different project — for free.
You say yes because pushing back feels awkward. You don't want to lose the client. So you absorb the cost and resent the project.
You quoted $5,000 for 50 hours. But with scope creep, it became 120 hours. Congratulations, you're now working below minimum wage.
"Lost $2,300 to scope creep on one project. Feeling defeated."
