Is It Out of Scope? — Web design
Is building an internal wiki out of scope for a web design project?
Yes. An internal wiki is a functional application for the client's own team, not a client-facing design deliverable.
This request usually comes up once a client's team has grown enough that institutional knowledge needs somewhere to live, and it lands with whoever's already building their site.
Is it out of scope?
Yes. An internal wiki is a functional tool for the client's own team to edit and reference — a different kind of deliverable entirely from the client-facing site design.

Example contract wording
Example contract wording (illustrative, not legal advice)
An internal wiki for your team is a different kind of project from the site design — it'd need to be scoped separately, likely with development rather than design.
How MarginFlow flags it
MarginFlow flags internal-wiki requests outside_scope on design contracts, since they fall under internal tooling rather than any client-facing deliverable category.
