Client Brief Changes

How to Protect Your Creative Brief Against Client Changes — The Smart Way with TextSeal

When working with clients, clear briefs are the foundation of successful projects. But what happens when clients change their brief mid-project or dispute what was originally agreed? This is where many freelancers, agencies, and creative professionals lose time, profit, and even client trust.

TextSeal provides a simple, reliable way to lock and timestamp client briefs, giving you protection and clarity throughout the project lifecycle.

The Problem: Client Brief Changes and Scope Creep

Client briefs are often delivered through emails, chat messages, or calls. They seem clear at the start but as the project unfolds:

• Clients revise their expectations.
• Key details “change” or are “forgotten.”
• You face scope creep, costing you time, money, and frustration.

Without clear proof of the original brief, you end up in he-said-she-said disputes, risking your professionalism and project margins.

The Solution: Freeze Your Client Brief with TextSeal

TextSeal lets you lock your client’s original brief — scope, deliverables, objectives, and terms — with a secure, time-stamped proof, ensuring:

• You have immutable evidence of the initial brief, even if the client revises it later.
• You can protect your pricing, timeline, and project limits.
• You reduce risk of scope disputes or unexpected change requests.

Example Use Cases

• ✔ Creative Agencies & Studios
  Freeze client creative briefs, brand guidelines, or campaign scopes before project kick-off, ensuring all parties align and disputes are avoided later.
• ✔ Freelancers & Consultants
  Lock your client’s initial project brief, protecting yourself from mid-project changes without extra fees.
• ✔ Software & Web Development Teams
  Preserve the original feature list, user stories, or technical requirements before changes sneak in and derail your sprints.

Why Use TextSeal Over Traditional Brief Sharing Methods?

Traditional Brief Sharing	TextSeal
Emails and Word Docs (easy to edit or deny)	Immutable proof — you control the timestamp, no one can alter it later
PDF attachments (timestamped by your system, but lacks third-party proof)	Cryptographically locked proof, verified by TextSeal’s independent timestamp
Client calls or chat messages (hard to document formally)	Lock any text, chat log, or client message instantly, ensuring it’s frozen as the agreed version
