THE QUESTION
More edits, sooner?
THE NEXT STEPAn answer to review before sending
The idea
Why this template exists.
A client asks for an extra cut and a quicker delivery date. Before replying, an editor has to decide what can change and what cannot. Scope Treaty is a Notion template in development for preparing conditional offer drafts, checking them against limits the editor enters and writing down what still needs to be asked. The editor reviews the wording before sending it through their usual channel.
Intended outcome
One or two offer drafts to review, private working limits and the questions still open. Pausing or declining can also be the right outcome.

Worth knowing
Limits and current status.

Common questions
Questions before release.
Is Scope Treaty available to buy?
Not yet. It is a development build, and the complete workflow is still being tested.

No. You provide your own estimates and decide which terms you can stand behind.
Does it send a quote or create a contract?
No. The planned output is wording for you to review and send using your usual tools.
