Honest scoping over overselling
The client came ready to buy a big build. We told them they needed less — scoped it down, and delivered fast.
Client: Magpie Creative
Before: the client expected a large build. After: we scoped it down to what actually solved the problem — and delivered it fast.

The problem
Magpie Creative came to YittBox wanting a database built from a spreadsheet — and had a fairly large build in mind.

What we built
Rather than take the bigger project, we told them the truth: they needed far less than they thought. We scoped it down to what actually solved the problem, built that, and delivered it fast.

The result
The client got exactly what they needed — no more, no less — delivered quickly, and left impressed that we steered them to the smaller, right-sized solution.
“I was really impressed with Randy's honesty. He actually suggested a much lower scope than I had in mind saying he thought that was all I needed. He was right and I appreciated it. Did a good job with what we landed on and was fast.”
Quote is verbatim from the client’s verified Upwork review.
