ScopeDiff
ScopeDiff is a SaaS platform that turns a signed scope of work (SOW) into a living, client-shared record for fixed-bid development shops. Users upload their signed agreement, and ScopeDiff parses it into structured deliverables, milestones, and boundaries. Each week, the AI reads connected GitHub commits and merged pull requests, then drafts status changes for the developer to confirm. This reduces manual reporting while keeping human control over every update. A single read-only link is shared with the client, showing what's done, what changed, and what work exceeds the original scope, with full version history. Privacy is a core design point: the signed SOW is read once to build the initial scope record and never stored, and the AI processing uses Anthropic's Claude API without training on submitted data. Pricing includes a free tier for one project and a $19/month Pro plan for unlimited projects and removal of ScopeDiff branding.

Problem solved
ScopeDiff prevents scope disputes by replacing a static, often outdated SOW with a continuously updated, client-visible record. It highlights what has been completed, what changed, and what is beyond the original agreement, eliminating 'that's not what we agreed' arguments and keeping both developer and client aligned throughout the project.
