Scope Creep Tracker API

POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/scope-creep-tracker/execute

Measure scope creep on a project and return the numbers a stakeholder report needs: original (baseline) effort, approved / pending / rejected change effort, total current scope, growth percent versus the baseline, approval rate, counts of change requests by type (feature, enhancement, clarification, bug, removal) and by status (pending, approved, rejected), the list of approved changes, and an executive-summary paragraph. Growth above 20% is flagged as high, as on the page.
