🚀 It's live. I Turned My $1,900 Scope Creep Problem into a Product

Hey Indie Hackers,

Two weeks ago, I shared how I lost 15 unbilled hours to a client's apparent "quick ask." ([right here, it was my first ever post])

Today, I'm launching the solution I built: Scoply.

A random transcript, generated into actionable info and showing how much people can lose over missing out on client requests

What it does:
Scoply turns client-call transcripts and SOW baselines into a live revenue-defense console. It basically :

  • Flags out-of-scope requests automatically

  • Estimates the dollar impact of unbilled work

  • Drafts a client-ready change-order email in one click


What's happened since my last post

  • Scoply caught $1,350 in direct unbilled scope creep** + **$550 in effort inflation from one client call

  • Gave it to a friend, caught $660 in wrong assignments from client - in 1.5 days!

  • 3 free transcript analyses (no credit card needed)

  • Founding pricing: $25/mo forever for the first 25 users (21 spots left)

([Try it out free!])

Why I built this:
I'm a fractional CTO, and I was tired of my teams absorbing unpaid work. This isn't a generic meeting summary tool so it's essentially it's a margin protector for agencies and consultants.

I'd love your brutal feedback here:

  • What features would make this a no-brainer for your agency workflow?

  • What's your biggest pain point with client scope changes?

Let me know in the comments!

    I like that you're treating scope creep as a business problem rather than just a project management problem.

    The interesting part isn't automatically spotting out-of-scope requests—it's making the financial impact visible before it quietly becomes accepted work. Protecting margins feels like a much stronger outcome than simply tracking project changes.
