Ask How do you handle a client who wants ownership of everything you create for them?

[Brendan]

This comes up more often than people expect, especially when working with business clients who want full control over what they pay for. Some clients want to own not just the final work but also the process, the drafts, and even the tools used. It makes sense from their side, but it can create problems for freelancers who reuse templates or methods across projects. How do you usually handle this conversation when it comes up with a new client?
