Stages that invoice, record and close themselves.
The stage was signed off in March. The invoice went out in June. Between those two dates the work was done, the money was earned, and nothing connected the one to the other.
Stage gates that actually gate
A stage closes when its approvals are in, and closing it is what raises the invoice — not a note in someone’s diary and a reminder from the accountant in the last week of the quarter.
Across the CoA work stages
Built around the Council of Architecture stages your firm already bills to, from concept through to completion — whether your fee is a percentage, a rate per square foot or a lump sum.
The evidence kept as you go
Approvals, issued sets and sign-offs recorded at the moment they happen, so the stage record is complete without assembling it later.

We start with one workflow, priced before anything begins. If it works, we build the next.
Nothing here replaces the software you already run. It sits between those systems and does the part nobody has time for.
