01 — THE PRODUCT

Fewer loose ends.
More shared understanding.

A focused software tool for freelancers and small agencies delivering websites and digital projects. Turn an initial client brief into a scope ready for review and discussion.

01

Collect what you know

Paste a client message, meeting note or requirement list. Give the project a name.

02

Find questions to resolve

The generator detects mentions of budget, timing and audience, then suggests what to clarify.

03

Take the scope with you

Edit the draft and download a Markdown document. Review it with the client before starting work.

02 — PLANNED CLAUDE INTEGRATION

From extracting words
to understanding the brief.

The available generator uses text rules. Claude API integration is planned and has not been deployed.

PLANNED · NOT ACTIVE

A specific role for Claude

We plan to use Claude to interpret unstructured briefs, distinguish requested deliverables from assumptions, flag ambiguous requirements and suggest focused questions before an estimate.

Users would review and edit every suggestion. The product would keep unresolved budget and timing information explicit rather than inventing an agreement.

01

Structured analysis

Draft deliverables, assumptions, exclusions and open questions.

02

Human review

An editable result for discussion with the client, without automated pricing.

03

Evaluation before rollout

Compare results on anonymized briefs, checking missed requirements and invented details.

03 — SCOPE GENERATOR

Bring a brief.
Leave with a starting point.

This version runs locally using text rules, without an AI model. It does not calculate prices or confirm agreements on behalf of your client.

The app does not send your brief to a server or store it after a page refresh. The hosting provider may retain technical access logs.

05 — ABOUT SCOPEFERN

A focused product
for everyday client work.

ScopeFern is an independent software project based in Poland, built for freelancers and small agencies. The available version organizes briefs, suggests clarification questions and exports an editable document.

Why ScopeFern

Client briefs often leave key decisions open. ScopeFern brings requirements and questions into one document to help discuss deliverables, timelines and responsibilities before estimating.

The next milestone

A small freelancer pilot, followed by evaluating Claude-based analysis. Accounts, payments and AI analysis are not currently available.

06 — QUESTIONS & DATA

Clear about
what works today.

What is available and what does it cost?

The scope generator, editing and Markdown export are free to use without an account. Briefs are processed locally. Accounts, project history, PDF export and AI analysis are planned features.

Does the generator use Claude?

No. It splits text into items and detects mentions using rules. Semantic analysis through Claude API is planned, not an active feature.

What happens to my brief?

The generator processes it in browser memory. It does not send it to an API, save it in localStorage or store it in a database. Refreshing the page clears the text. Downloaded files stay on your device. Hosting infrastructure may process technical access logs.

Will future AI processing work the same way?

No. An optional Claude feature would require sending the submitted text to a server and Anthropic. Before launching it, we would explain that processing, update the data information and provide an explicit user action to start analysis.

Does the document replace a contract or estimate?

It supports a scope discussion. Review the draft, agree the details with your client, and prepare the appropriate estimate or agreement separately.
