Scope of Work

What this is about

Every later argument about money is an earlier gap in the scope. A usable scope of work counts things: number of films, lengths, language versions, shoot days, revision rounds, named deliverables. Everything outside that list becomes a change request with a price, which is exactly the point — the scope is not bureaucracy but the reference that keeps goodwill and free work apart. In German offers this section is the Leistungsumfang, and it belongs in the quote, not in an email thread.

A term only helps when everyone on set means the same thing by it — so what follows is how it is used, not a dictionary definition.

What runs differently here

Where this differs from the general case:

• Countable beats descriptive: three films of ninety seconds, two revision rounds, one shoot day
• Exclusions are part of the scope — name what the client might silently expect
• The scope is the reference document for every scope-creep conversation later

With TillyGen

TillyGen derives the scope from the brief as countable units — films, setups, days — so the quote and the plan describe the same project.

Change one constraint and the consequences travel through the whole plan: affected shots are flagged, the call sheet is regenerated, and nobody keeps working from yesterday's version.
