How it works

Find each other.
Make the next step clear.

A conversation becomes an agreement. The work, feedback and decisions stay together, so you both know where things stand.

Current availability: live payments are not enabled. The payment steps below describe the simulated workflow; no real money is collected or protected yet.

01 / A shared starting point

Start the conversation

Message a professional directly, post a job and review proposals, or buy a packaged gig outright. Every path lands you in the same place: a project chat.

Agree the scope, together

Deliverables, acceptance criteria, and a delivery breakdown get captured right in the chat — the brief the whole project is graded against, not a document that drifts.

02 / The work in progress

Pay — the money becomes Protected

You pay when you’re ready to start a delivery. The money is held safely and only moves to the professional once you approve the delivery.

Review what’s delivered

Each delivery opens against the acceptance criteria you agreed on — approve it, ask for changes, or report a problem if something’s genuinely wrong.

03 / A clear finish

Approve, or let the window run

Every delivery carries a visible countdown. Approve any time, or let the window lapse — it auto-approves and pays out on its own, so you’re never required to babysit a review. Asking for changes or reporting a problem pauses the clock.

If something goes wrong

Report a problem freezes the auto-approve window and the payment immediately. Both sides state their case against the acceptance criteria you agreed on, and a resolution — pay in full, pay partially, revise, or end the project — happens inside the same chat. Nothing about your project ever leaves the record. A person rules. There is no arbitration fee.

Two doors. One chat.
