What people are posting (in our words)

The business below is our own idea for solving this problem, not a company described in these posts.

Who it’s for

Freelancers, designers, developers and small agencies.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Start with one city, niche or customer type, then expand.
  • Ask your first 10 customers what they would pay before you build more.
  • Keep a human check on anything that is sent in a customer’s name.

Step by step

  1. Collect 10 real proposals and the extra requests that came after.
  2. Write a prompt that turns call notes into a scope with clear “included / not included”.
  3. Add a change-order generator: paste a new request, get a priced change order.
  4. Build it as a simple app; charge monthly by Stripe.
  5. Share examples on X and LinkedIn for freelancers.
  6. Let users edit everything; it drafts, they decide.

Ready-to-copy prompt

Here are my notes from a client call [paste]. Write a one-page scope: goal, deliverables, what’s not included, number of revision rounds, timeline, price. Then write a change-order template for new requests.

What they did

A tool for freelancers and agencies that turns a client call into a clear scope, and every new request into a priced change order. We designed this business around a problem people post about on X; it is an idea, not a report of an existing company.
