# Scope Changes

> How to request additional work

## The rule

Treat scope changes as explicit decisions — not assumptions.

<Warning>
  Before asking a contractor to take on out-of-scope work, loop in your ThirstySprout contact.
</Warning>

## How to request

1. Tell your ThirstySprout contact what's changing and why
2. We'll confirm feasibility and align on updated terms
3. Work begins after approval

## Why this matters

* Prevents billing surprises
* Ensures contractor availability
* Keeps the engagement on track

## Performance concerns?

If something feels off — performance, ambiguity, communication — raise it early. Your ThirstySprout contact can help triage, coach, or adjust the engagement.

<Note>
  Small adjustments in week 1 prevent big problems later.
