The intake problem in agencies
- Client briefs arrive as unstructured emails, voice notes, or messy Google Docs with critical details buried
- Account managers spend hours distilling a brief into a scoping document before the strategy team even sees it
- Budget and timeline expectations are implied but never stated explicitly, leading to misquotes
- Scope creep starts at intake when requirements are captured vaguely
