Design work is quoted as a fixed scope but delivered as open-ended revisions. MarginFlow keeps every client email honest against what was actually signed off.
None of these show up as one big ask. They arrive as small, reasonable-sounding requests spread across a dozen email threads over six weeks.
Contract says two rounds of revisions. The client sends a third, fourth, and fifth 'quick fix' — each individually reasonable, collectively a free redesign.
The proposal covered 6 pages. Somewhere in a thread about the homepage, a 'can we also get a careers page' request slips in and gets built without a second thought.
'Can we just try a different logo color' turns into three new palette explorations and a full visual identity review — none of it in the original scope.
Under deadline pressure, small asks get waved through to keep the project moving. They're rarely revisited once the site is live.
