One-time purchase Immediate digital delivery Licensed for one business
Formula-driven workbook
One operating view from request to commercial decision.
The familiar pattern
“Can you make one quick change?”
Work starts before impact is clear.
Time moves. Margin disappears. Nobody chose it.
A small operating system
Make the commercial decision before the production decision.
Lineproof turns an awkward boundary conversation into a repeatable four-step workflow. It protects the client from surprise invoices as much as it protects you from surprise work.
Quantify
Estimate effort, value, timing, and margin impact before work begins.
Offer
Give the client a fee, tradeoff, later phase, or original-plan choice.
Record
Keep the decision, approval, and commercial result in one ledger.
Built for the moment requests arrive
See what the project is absorbing.
The ledger distinguishes included, borderline, and additional work; calculates proposed fees and cost impact; and keeps every open item tied to an owner and decision date.
- Prebuilt formulas and dropdowns
- Recovered-revenue and absorbed-cost views
- Sample rows that show the full workflow
- Definitions and quick-start sheets

Questions before you buy
Useful clarity, up front.
Is this a contract template?
No. It is an operational scope-control system, not legal advice or a substitute for a professionally drafted agreement. The included change notice should be adapted to your contracts and jurisdiction.
Which spreadsheet apps are supported?
The workbook is delivered as an .xlsx file and is designed for current desktop spreadsheet software. Formula behavior can vary in older or web-only editors, so keep a clean master copy.
Can my team use it?
Yes. One purchase licenses use inside one business across that business's own client projects. Redistribution, resale, sublicensing, and public template sharing are not permitted.
Will this stop every scope dispute?
No tool can guarantee that. The system is designed to make the baseline, impact, options, and approvals more visible so commercial decisions happen before extra work becomes invisible.
