CLEARCUT / THE PRODUCT HANDBOOK

Make the change visible before it becomes unpaid work.

Fixed-fee work needs a boundary. A request can be reasonable and still fall outside the original agreement. Clearcut gives that conversation a concrete starting point: what changed, what it costs and what happens next.

01 / BRING THE RIGHT DETAILS

Start from something real.

A useful result begins with accurate inputs. Gather these before you open the tool.

  1. 01The original deliverables and agreed price
  2. 02The new request, quantities and estimated effort
  3. 03Your proposed fee, timing and assumptions
02 / THE WORKFLOW

Three deliberate steps.

01

Separate the baseline

Write what the original price covers. Put the additional request beside it so both parties can see the difference.

02

Choose a defensible price

Estimate the work, review the proposed fee and check what fits the client’s budget. An estimate is a decision aid, not a promise of profit.

03

Get a clear next decision

Download the proposal. Confirm the scope, price and timing with the client before doing the additional work.

03 / WORKED EXAMPLES

See the decision take shape.

Illustrative scenarios, not customer stories or promised results.

WHERE IT HELPS

Built for this kind of work.

  • You sell a defined piece of work for a fixed fee.
  • A client has asked for extra pages, revisions or deliverables.
  • You want a clear document to discuss before starting the addition.
WHERE HUMAN JUDGMENT MATTERS

Know the boundaries.

  • It does not replace your contract or legal advice.
  • A recorded client response is not an identity-verified signature.
  • Internal cost estimates are only as reliable as your time and rate inputs.

THE PRODUCT SO FAR

A short history.
Concrete progress.

These are product development milestones, not a claim about company age or customer results. We are building in small, useful increments.

  1. From quote to decision

    Itemized estimates, budget checks and practical scope-change tools were added.

  2. Compare before committing

    Budget-fit planning, focused workspace views and named local versions made revisions easier to review.
