What it helps you do

Use it when quick asks and helpful additions start arriving faster than decisions.

Send me the weekly Dispatch and Free Resources

- Notice the phrases and behaviours that usually arrive before scope creep gets named.

- Separate useful ideas from approved work.

Real pages from the resource.

The file is designed as a practical field tool: clear prompts, useful language, and enough structure to act without turning it into another project artifact.

A field list of early scope-creep signals.

A quick “is this actually scope?” reality check.

Prompts for naming tradeoffs before the work quietly expands.
