Stria

That "quick tweak" your client asked for? It's 3 hours of unpaid work. Freelancers, consultants, and small agencies lose thousands every year to scope creep — extra requests that slip in over email and never get billed. Stria stops it.

Lock in your agreed scope from a proposal, statement of work, or a 60-second guided setup. Then forward client emails to your private Stria address or connect the Slack channels you choose. Stria's AI checks every request against your scope, and when a client asks for something extra, you get a verdict — IN SCOPE, GRAY ZONE, or OUT — with the exact scope clause quoted and a price calculated from your rate card. One click turns it into a priced change order your client approves online.

Everything you need to get paid for all your work:

• Scope-creep detection — every client email checked against your agreed scope, automatically
• Priced change orders — turn extra asks into client-approved, invoiced work with deposits and payments
• Proposals & contracts — sent in minutes, with e-signatures and an ambiguity scan that flags vague scope language before you sign
• Deliverable sign-offs — documented client approvals with tamper-evident certificates, so "final" means final
• Time tracking, invoicing & reporting — see revenue protected and scope creep stopped, by client and project

Built for how freelancers actually work: Stria never connects to your inbox — you forward individual emails or opt in per Slack channel, so client conversations stay private. No project management overhaul, no learning curve. Just forward the email and know in seconds whether it's free work.

Start free — scope-creep detection is included on the free plan. Paid plans from $19/month. Try the free scope checker at getstria.com/scope-check, no account needed.

Stria is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; it helps you apply the scope terms you and your client already agreed to.
