Stop being the bad guy about client requirements. Let the score say it.
Agencies inherit a new backlog with every engagement — and with it, the job of telling a paying client their requirements aren't buildable. Without evidence, that conversation is your opinion against theirs, and you're the one who looks difficult. Vindex gives you an objective read on requirement quality in minutes, so the report does the pushing back.
Real scores in 30 seconds. No signup, nothing to install. Your data is deleted after 24 hours.
Same conversation, different ending: the score names the gap on day one, while it's still cheap to fix — and it isn't your opinion.
Every client, a new environment
New domain, new tooling, new conventions, new backlog — and no fast way to know what you're walking into until your team is already burning hours on it.
The bad-guy problem
Pushing back on a client's stories sounds like making excuses before the work starts. You need the gap named by something that isn't you — a neutral third party with no stake in the argument.
Fixed bids eat the rework
When a vague requirement turns into rework, the client's timeline slips but your margin takes the hit. The gap was visible on day one — there was just no tool to show it.
What changes when the evidence walks in with you.
Backlog health on day one
Drop the client's CSV during discovery and know what you're walking into before you price it — in minutes, in any client's tooling.
The report is the bad guy
Per-story findings in plain language, from a neutral scoring engine. The client hears “the quality gate flagged these,” not “your stories are bad.”
Margins that survive the engagement
Rework from vague requirements is the silent killer of fixed bids. Catching it before planning is the difference between a profitable phase and a write-off.
Score your next client's backlog before you price it.
Drop their CSV export — real scores in 30 seconds, no signup, nothing installed in their environment.
