How It Works

Protect scope in 3 steps

Move from client message to approved paid work without the back-and-forth.

01

Upload your project docs

Drop your contract, brief, or SOW. AI extracts deliverables, timelines, and revision limits.

02

Paste client requests

Forward a message, email, or chat. AI classifies in-scope revisions vs new paid work.

03

Send approval with real cost

Share a portal link with cost breakdown, timeline impact, and approval trail.

The freelancer's dilemma

Great work, eroded margins.

Scope creep

"Just one small change" turns into 40 hours of free work.

Every request is traced to signed-off docs. AI flags new work and calculates real cost before you lift a finger.

Vague requirements

"I thought that was included" — without clear specs, you always lose.

Uploads become structured deliverables with completion criteria. Nothing implied, everything documented.

Unrealistic timelines

"We need this by Friday." Clients can't see the breakdown, so you burn out.

AI generates task-level estimates from your actual deliverables. The timeline speaks for itself.

Common scope-creep requests and how to fix them

Client request

"Can we also add an admin dashboard for internal reporting?"

How uDocit helps

Detects this as new scope, estimates added hours, and prepares an approval link before work starts.

Client request

"Could you include push notifications and email alerts too?"

How uDocit helps

Maps the request against approved requirements and marks uncovered items as paid additions.

[0.5]Why

Built by a freelancer who got burned

A client once told me 'that was implied' about a feature that took 40 extra hours. I had no document proving otherwise. I built uDocit so that never happens to another freelancer.
