Client Commercial Protection
Example session with this skill installed
Client just sent this
"Hey, while you're updating the homepage, can you also redesign the about page and create 3 new social templates? We need it by Thursday."
This is outside the current SOW. Write me a professional reply + a proper change request.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the client commercial protection
Summary
Scope clearly flagged as outside current agreement. Professional reply + full change request ready to send. Work gated behind written approval.
Reply to Client
Thanks for this — clear request.
The about page redesign and social templates sit outside the current homepage SOW we agreed.
I can turn around a short change request today with impact on fee and timeline so we can decide together.
Options
- Proceed via change order
- Park these items for Phase 2
- Quick 10-min call to discuss priority
Which do you prefer? I’ll hold on starting this work until we have written confirmation.

About this skill
Most agencies lose money the same way: vague requests turn into free work, retainers slowly expand, and change requests never get properly priced. Client Commercial Protection is a practical operating system that turns every fuzzy client request into clear, protective commercial language — without sounding defensive or bureaucratic. What it does:
Turns messy client emails into tight one-page Client Briefs Generates professional Change Requests with impact analysis and approval gates Defends retainers with capacity math and clear options Replaces dangerous phrases (“as needed”, “ongoing support”, “happy to help with anything”) with commercially safe language Gives you copy-paste responses for the most common scope-creep situations
Built for real agency daily use — not theory. Every template and phrase is designed to be sent to clients the same day. Ideal for creative, marketing, product, and full-service agencies that want to protect margin without damaging relationships.
