BestToolsProject Change Planner

One change.
Three ways forward.

Added work does not have to mean an unclear agreement. Compare adding, swapping or deferring it, then prepare a discussion with your client.

Record the change

One project, one request. Estimated effort is in hours.

Inputs stay in this tab's memory. No autosave, uploads or AI calls. Download JSON to keep your work; Reset or a fresh reload clears it. Ordinary page and asset requests still reach the host.

01 · Original agreement

Changing currency relabels amounts. No exchange conversion. JPY: whole units; other choices: up to 2 decimal places.

02 · Requested change

Original and added hours must be greater than 0, up to 100,000, with at most 2 decimal places. Fees can be 0, up to 10,000,000. Use a decimal point; no commas or exponent notation. Fee estimates exclude any unrecorded tax, expenses or overhead.

Must not exceed original total hours. Without a named task and positive hours, Swap remains incomplete. Unequal effort is shown, not silently balanced.

Source and timing notes

Missing scope, version or source notes stay visibly unverified. Every option is pending client confirmation.

A comparison,
ready for a conversation.

Use your agreed scope and realistic effort estimates. This is a planning aid, not approval, invoicing, contract interpretation or legal advice.

  1. Add and chargeAdd the proposed fee and hours to the original totals. A zero extra fee is allowed and its effect on the reference rate is visible.
  2. Swap existing workExplicitly exclude a named original task, include the new task and hold the original fee. The effort gap stays visible.
  3. Defer the requestKeep current scope, fee and hours. Record the request separately; later price and timing remain undecided.

What the figures do and do not mean

Effective rate is fee divided by estimated total hours. It is revenue per estimated hour, not profit, a loss calculation or a recommended rate. A 20% lower reference rate does not prove a 20% profit loss. Different tasks can have different risk and value even when hours match.

No dates are calculated. Timing notes are unverified text. The planner cannot check a contract, decide what is in scope, verify a source, collect consent or confirm a client's agreement. Confirm the scope, fee and timing yourself before starting changed work.

Synthetic check: USD 2,000 / 20 h plus 5 h for USD 500 gives Add USD 2,500 / 25 h. Removing a named 3 h task gives Swap USD 2,000 / 22 h. Defer stays USD 2,000 / 20 h, with later work undecided.
