Is It Out of Scope? — Web development
Is building an internal wiki out of scope for a web development project?
Yes. An internal wiki is its own application, separate from the client-facing site the development scope was quoted against.
This overlaps with #52's internal-tool pattern — a client wants a second, separate application for their own team's use, distinct from the public site.
Is it out of scope?
Yes. Whether self-hosted or built from scratch, an internal wiki is its own application with its own auth and editing workflow — a separate build from the client-facing site.

Example contract wording
Example contract wording (illustrative, not legal advice)
An internal wiki is its own application — separate auth, separate editing workflow — outside what we scoped for the main site. I can quote it as its own project.
How MarginFlow flags it
MarginFlow flags internal-wiki build requests outside_scope on development contracts unless the SOW explicitly listed a second internal application as a deliverable.
