Built for consulting and professional-services firms
Estimates you can defend, line by line.
Scope is a guided estimation engine built on your firm's methodology. It uses deterministic math on purpose: the same inputs produce the same estimate every time, so every hour has an explanation.
Your estimates aren't free. They just never show up as a line item.
In our experience a detailed estimate takes hours to days to build by hand, and the people building it are your most expensive, most billable consultants. Set the sliders to your own practice and see what that time is worth this year.
Math you can explain to a client.
An effort model you can follow.
Base hours, adjusted for lifecycle and activity, anchored on complexity profiles rather than raw t-shirt sizes.
Totals that reconcile.
Role hours add up to the project total exactly. No one-hour drift to explain away.
Timelines against real constraints.
Scope compresses the schedule toward a hard go-live date and flags a constraint it can't meet.
Stable while you work.
An in-flight estimate reads from a frozen copy of your configuration, so an admin change can't shift it under you.
XLSX export.
The full estimate in a workbook.
There is no AI in Scope's estimate math, and that's deliberate. Pricing a deal needs math that is right every time, not probably right.
Try the deal more than one way.
Each client deal can carry several scenarios: a base case, an aggressive one, a single-phase option. Version and fork them as you go, and keep every version, without cloning a workbook.
Your practice, configured once.
Rate cards, role rates, skills, question banks, testing types, development sizing, passthroughs and project types, set up per practice in the admin screens. The engine reads from your configuration, so every estimate starts from how your firm actually delivers.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days of Scope for every new organization, no card needed. When it ends, you choose a plan.
What if our rate cards or roles differ from your defaults?
They will, and that's expected. Rate cards, role rates and skills are your configuration; the engine reads from it.
Can we run more than one version of a deal?
Yes. Each deal can hold several scenarios, and you can version and fork them.
What do I get out of Scope?
The estimate in the app, and an Excel workbook (XLSX) export. Proposals and SoWs come from Charter.
Is there AI in the estimate?
No, by design. Same inputs, same estimate, every time.
Do I need to implement anything?
No. Start your trial, set up your organization and invite your team. Configuration is done in the admin screens.
Run your next estimate in Scope.
