Original: "The revision-limit clause that ends the scope spiral — and how to explain it without losing the deal"

Short summary

Unlimited revisions cause scope creep and disputes. Define revision rounds with consolidation windows in contracts (e.g., 2 rounds, 5 business days) to batch feedback and prevent drip-style changes. Frame as process improvement; additional rounds are billable at standard rates.

  • Define revision rounds (e.g., 2 included, 3+ billable) to prevent unlimited scope creep
  • Set consolidation windows (5 business days) to force clients to batch feedback instead of drip-feeding changes
  • Frame as process improvement, not limitation; most clients don't use all included rounds
