Agencies, consultancies, and design studios leak margin in two places: work that was never on the SOW, and time that was never billed. We watch the baseline and keep project accounting honest.
- →Scope creep arrives as a Slack message that felt like partnership
- →Harvest is full; invoices are not
- →Change orders are Word docs the client never signs
- →A/E studios need phase billing and proposals without buying Deltek

Does AI send the change order?
It drafts. You send. The client decides on a public link you control.
