Is It Out of Scope? — Web design
Is building a custom form beyond the template library out of scope for a web design project?
Yes. If the deliverable was a set of form templates, a fully custom one-off form is new design and layout work beyond that library.
A template library is built to cover common form patterns efficiently — once a client wants something genuinely custom that doesn't fit any of those patterns, it's back to bespoke design work.
Is it out of scope?
Yes. The template library was the scoped deliverable; a form that falls outside every template's structure needs its own design pass.

Deliverables clause→ — The template library defines the delivered form set; a fully custom form outside that set is a new, unscoped deliverable.
Example contract wording
Example contract wording (illustrative, not legal advice)
This request doesn't fit any of the templates in the library we delivered — it needs its own custom design pass, which is outside what we scoped for the template set. I can quote that separately.
How MarginFlow flags it
MarginFlow checks form requests against the template library named in the contract's deliverables and flags a fully custom request as outside_scope when it doesn't match an existing template.
