Ask How do you set the scope of a project when the client keeps referring to examples that are way outside your agreed budget?

[Edward22]

Scope conversations can get complicated when a client continues pointing to references that clearly belong to a different price range. It becomes hard to stay on track when their expectations keep shifting toward something larger than what was discussed. I find this often comes up after the contract is already signed, which makes it harder to address. How do you bring the conversation back to what was agreed without making the client feel like you are limiting the quality of the work?
