Write the brief
Define the deliverables, acceptance criteria, exclusions, dependencies, budget, and the timezone-aware deadline.
The working agreement
A record people can use.
Every engagement should answer three questions: what was promised, what evidence exists, and what happened when conditions changed?
Compare feasibility
Proposals explain approach, price, and assumptions. Applying does not create a commitment.
Accept one version
Both sides approve the final scope and deadline. A later change becomes a recorded request, not a silent rewrite.
Leave evidence
Checkpoints and submissions make progress inspectable. Risks can be raised before a deadline becomes a surprise.
Deliver or resolve
Accept conforming work, request a specific revision, or use the resolution path. A refund changes money state only.
Draft standard.Review windows, service fees, guarantees, and adverse outcome policies require explicit Zetvy approval before production activation.
