Services Milestone Delivery and Settlement

Run the delivery half of a services engagement. Break the statement of work into milestones and the deliverables that close them, then track each one to formal acceptance so payment follows delivered outcomes, not elapsed time. Raise milestone-based invoices against accepted work and keep a clear, auditable record of who accepted what and when. Outcome-based settlement that ties every payment back to a milestone the buyer signed off.

Entity summary

Name data_object Description
Milestone Invoices milestone_invoices Invoices a firm raises against an accepted milestone of a services engagement, so payment follows delivered outcomes rather than elapsed time. The settlement record for outcome-based services work, distinct from time-and-materials contingent invoices.
Service Acceptances service_acceptances Formal sign-off records capturing that the buyer accepted a deliverable or milestone, who accepted it, and when, gating the milestone invoice. Optional because some buyers accept implicitly on invoice rather than recording a typed acceptance.
Service Deliverables service_deliverables Concrete work products a firm produces under a statement of work, tracked from submission to acceptance against the milestone they close. Optional because some buyers settle on the milestone alone and inline deliverables as attributes.
SOW Milestones sow_milestones Schedule-and-payment checkpoints that break a services engagement into accountable stages, each tied to deliverables and to the milestone invoice it releases. The settlement mechanic that makes outcome-based services payment work.
