Scope definition is the act of establishing the precise boundaries, entities, and conditions to which an assessment, consent, or measurement applies. In governance and consent systems it specifies which permissions, data, or activities are covered, while in environmental assessment it delineates the system boundary for impact accounting. Clear scope is a prerequisite for auditable and comparable results.

In impact assessment, scope sets the system boundary and accounting categories, determining what emissions or effects are included and ensuring comparability across studies.
