In the age of AI 'vibe coding' tools being embrace by the software developer community; founders, CEOs, clients, product managers & producers have whole heartedly embrassed 'Vibe Scoping' at scale.
The subtly art of documenting nothing, making shit up & drowning the project team in a high frequency, flurry of emails mid project; thus parcing it off as part of the original project scope & sneaking it into the product back log at no cost. Causing the project team to implode as they all attempt to throw each other under the bus.
A long lost cousin to love boming, can also be called 'scope bombing'. Can apply to a range of industries including construction. These are all red flags.
SEE also 'vibe invoicing' the only known defense against 'vibe scoping'.

SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
Dev A (jnr dev) "Ken's just sent me an email full of new product features, it makes no sens. What do I do?"
Dev B (snr dev) "Oh, he's just making shit up. He's trying the ole vibe scoping mind trick on you. Pull out the scope doc as the source of truth & add it to the next phase. The PMs can cost it in & raise an invoice."
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Builder A "What do I do, the clients rattled of a range of random things for us to build. They want a lazy suzan and broiler in the middle of the spa bath? It's not in any of our plans, I think he is vibe scoping again"
Builer B 'Allg lad, we'll get the boss to vibe invoice them. We'll celebrate with that imported beer at arvo knock offs & send a note to his parole officer."

Get the Vibe Scoping mug.Kira: Last night I saw a commercial for holidays in Istanbul with the tagline "Istanbulvibe!" Bruh, htf is this marketing an "Istanbul Vibe?". You are literally advertising Istanbul! This is the "real thing". "Istanbul Vibe" would imply something reminds you of Istanbul, not it being the real fucking thing!
Yvonne: Uh, another old woman yelling at cloud!
Didem: No, she's younger than you, and she's got a point. Vibes should imply that something reminds you of something else without actually being that something else. If it's the real thing, then that's not vibes, that's atmosphere or forms.
Kira: You think that's bad? If you try making "Vibe(s) as an urban dictionary entry, one of the gifs that comes up on Giphy is a gif saying "Weekend vibes". Bruh, if it's giving "Weekend Vibes", it's a fucking holiday. Why don't you celebrate the holiday like a normal person would before Vine ruined everyone's attention spans?
Yvonne: Kira, you just hate Gen-Z.
Kira: Yvonne, I grew up Adventure Time. You remember 9/11.
