When scope shifts
Consent becomes a record.
Draftpile logs client changes, sends a secure approval link, and locks the decision forever.
Used when a client says "can we just change one thing?"
Not a project manager. Not a contract. Just a decision record.

How teams actually use Draftpile
Three moments. One simple action.
When a client asks for a change
The team logs the request, captures the cost or timeline impact, and sends an approval link before doing the work.
When scope shifts mid-project
Changes are recorded as additions or swaps so everyone can see what replaced what, and why.
When decisions need to stick
Once approved, the decision is locked and referenced later to prevent rework, disputes, or memory drift.
The trigger
Draftpile is used the moment a client asks for a change that was not in the agreement.
If a change is not logged here, it is not agreed.
The ledger captures the tension, not the history. There is no negotiation, only consent.
Draftpile records changes in four explicit categories.
Financial
Price changes recorded to the dollar.
Temporal
Deadline shifts expressed in days.
Structural
Scope swaps written in plain language.
Conditional
Dependencies logged before work proceeds.
LOG → SEND → LOCK
Three moves. Zero ambiguity.
Draftpile records reality at the moment it changes.
