ScopeDrift, prices the extra work a client keeps adding

For anyone building software for UK freelancers, this pack sets out the tool, the buyer, and the sourced evidence behind the problem.

The expensive part of a business idea is not having it. It is the time you spend finding out it does not work. This pack is that work, already done, with its sources left open.

Set by how big this idea could get and the market it targets, never by the size of the pack. See the ladder.

  • 14-day money back, no questions asked
  • Survived all 6 checks
  • Instant download the moment you pay

The pack’s own model puts month one at 3× what the pack costs, and payback at 4 months. Every input behind that is sourced, and the workings are the fourth document.

The numbers are in the pack. Pricing mechanics and unit economics, every input sourced, and anything the research could not stand up is marked so.

Secure checkout via Stripe. A pack is evidence-backed research, not a promise of business success. See our refund policy.

Could you run this?

Behind the research is a business somebody has to actually operate. Here is who they would be selling to, and how soon the first money arrives.

How we tried to kill it

Each check is an attack, not a rubber stamp. An idea dies on the first check where cited evidence goes against it. This one survived all 6. Finding nothing is not the same as finding a green light; see how each check works on /how-it-works.

The 6 below run on every idea, whatever it is.

  • 1Whether the pain is imagined
  • 2Whether the value decays
  • 3Whether incumbents already own the space
  • 4Whether anyone will actually pay
  • 5Whether it can reach a market at all
  • 6Whether there is a legal landmine

A look inside

Real, sourced lines taken straight from the pack. Every source below is a live link: open one and check the claim before you buy.

Extract · evidence record
  • Scope creep costs the average UK freelancer around £8,000 a year.
  • One freelancer put it plainly: losing money on unpaid extra work "is stunting the growth of the business".
  • Given the roughly £8,000 a year the average UK freelancer loses to scope creep, recovering even a fifth of it would dwarf any sensible monthly fee.
The rest of this section, and three more documents, are in the pack.
