Hi all I'm Shahbaz. I've spent 18+ years across retail operations, CRM at Telenor, IT systems at Cybernet, and most recently as VP of Sales at InnovoSolutions.

These days I work where sales operations, software, and commercial discipline meet building CRM and pipeline systems, lead capture and routing, and GTM automation (HubSpot, n8n, Make, webhooks/API integrations) for founders and sales teams whose revenue workflows are slow, disconnected, or stuck depending on someone remembering to follow up.

That's actually how I found this idea not through a personal construction background, but because the pattern is one I've seen in every industry I've worked in: money doesn't disappear because people aren't working hard, it disappears because nobody owns the moment information gets lost. When I researched how specialty contractors track change orders, I found exactly that failure mode, just with higher stakes real work, real value, and no system catching the deadline before it's gone.

That's why I built ScopeLedger a private workspace for specialty contractors to capture changed work, track notice deadlines, organize evidence against each change, and see exposure across every project in one place, instead of losing it all to scattered emails and spreadsheets.

Hey everyone launching ScopeLedger on Product Hunt this Tuesday, Aug 4, and wanted to open this up before then rather than just drop a link on launch day.

Quick context: ScopeLedger is a private workspace for specialty contractors (electrical, mechanical, HVAC, fire protection, and similar trades) to catch changed work before the contractual notice deadline expires, keep evidence organized against each change instead of scattered across email and photos, and see open exposure across projects in one place.

I built the whole thing myself product, security architecture, and the go-to-market stack after digging into how much money contractors lose not because they lack a legal claim, but because nobody captured the fact pattern in time.

Genuinely curious from this community: if you've ever worked in or adjacent to construction/contracting how does your team currently track change orders and notice deadlines? Spreadsheet? Email folder? Nothing formal at all? I'd love to hear what's actually breaking down in practice before launch day.
