Eight phases.
Eight phases.
Eight cards.
The back is what gets paid.
The front is the field evidence. The back is the line your bank reads: amount, retainage, your state's payment term, the waiver form. By the time the card is flipped, the payment request has already gone out.
For the contractor who bills the homeowner directly.

End to end
Nobody types the percentage
Across the competitors we reviewed, the percentage complete that gets billed is typed in by a person; everything downstream is what's automated. Here the evidence closes the phase, the close issues the request, and what the bank confirms unlocks the next one.

The rest of the argument
Six questions, six pages
How does a phase open?
Seven triggers and the state machine behind them. A signal will not open a phase that is waiting on another.
How does the evidence arrive?
The checklist unlocks on site, the queue survives with no signal, and the completed visit turns read-only.
What about my books?
Retainage, payment term and waiver form resolved with your jurisdiction rule, statute next to the number.
What runs on its own?
Ten flows on a clock: expiry warnings, visit reminders, the scheduled-phase sweep and three observers.
How is this different?
Across the vendors we reviewed, the percentage complete that gets billed is typed in by a person.
What does it cost?
Base plus active contract. Not per seat, not per calendar month. A finished job stops counting.
