A client project is creeping: [ORIGINAL SCOPE AND PRICE, WHAT THEY HAVE ASKED FOR SINCE, WHAT WE ALREADY ABSORBED, THE RELATIONSHIP - HOW HARD WE CAN PUSH]. Stop the bleed: the list of what is in scope versus what snuck in, the change order that prices the creep fairly in friendly framing (not lawyer framing), the conversation script for the client who "thought that was included", and the line we hold on the next ask.
