Is It Out of Scope? — Web development
Is creating video content for social ads out of scope for a web development project?
Yes. Video production has no overlap with building or maintaining a website and isn't something a development engagement covers under any framing.
This is one of the cleaner discipline mismatches — video production for paid ads has essentially nothing in common with writing or maintaining code, and it landing with a dev team is almost always about availability rather than any real connection to the work.
Is it out of scope?
Yes, cleanly. Video production is a distinct creative discipline with no development component, outside the engagement regardless of framing.

Video production isn't something we do under this engagement — that's outside development entirely. Happy to point you toward a video editor or agency that specializes in ad creative.
