This example follows one agreement from the last signature to accepted close-out.
The walk begins
It starts at the last signature
Start from the signed documents, not another round of copying them into tasks. Review the work, responsibilities and dates the documents wrote, then put the team to work.
The commissioning deadline is read from the agreement and carried into the plan.Explore the agreement reading and the accepted record

Useful preparation
Get more of the preparation off your desk
Reports, work orders and notice drafts can start from the job already in Nebula. For technical work, Nebula turns a prompt or your documents into a drawing to review and edit.
Delivery reports
Bring progress, decisions and the current position into a report for the next meeting.
Specialist work orders
Set out the job, completion requirements and agreed terms for the person taking it on.
Notice drafts
Prepare the wording from the agreement and the event, ready to review before sending.
Technical drawings
Start with the electrical single-line example below. Review it, request changes and take the DWG into your own tools.
See the worked drawing example
The electrical single-line diagram comes first, as a DWG drafted natively in AutoCAD, with mechanical and other drawings to follow. Anything the documents leave unanswered is marked for your decision.

DECISION REQUIRED 01
You decide the downstream protection not stated in the source.
You see no device, rating, curve or setting in the source, so the drawing leaves this open.

Week 3One deliverable needs a specialist.
Hand over a brief they can start
Nebula drafts a one-page work order from the accepted record. Agree the scope and terms, then bring verified work back onto the same record.
See what goes with the work order
Quotes and offer terms stay private to the organisation. The head project's deadlines do not move.
The subcontract rests only on wording both parties signed.
Keep the job moving through to payment
See what is holding up delivery and awaiting a payment response. Claims, approvals and part-payments keep their history, so the next conversation starts with the position in front of you.
Weeks 9 to 14The switchgear slips, the first claim arrives and a response window opens.
The supplied weeks and durations form one path to the week 36 finish. The outage window stays unscheduled, because its duration was never supplied.Explore time, money and deadline records

What scheduling draws on
Dates come from the dates and durations the documents provide. Work with incomplete dates stays unscheduled.
Money
See where payment stands
Claims, approvals, paid amounts and what is still unpaid stay on the same record.

Budget
recorded value and changes
How retention is estimated
Retention is estimated from the rate the documents state. Without a usable rate, there is no figure.
The payment claim lifecycle
You submit a payment claim, record the schedule and certification, and carry any shortfall forward until it is discharged.
Every position keeps its date, and Nebula moves no money; your later dispute opens on the recorded history.
Deadlines
Have the follow-up ready
Trusted deadlines are checked every 15 minutes. Follow-up is prepared for review, not sent.

How response windows are dated
Unsupported timing stays unknown
When a payment notice has no source-stated calendar response date, Nebula keeps the response-window state UNKNOWN and tells you to check the notice and source document.
A missed date sends nothing by itself. You review every follow-up after Nebula confirms the current state, certainty, sender authority and notification route.
How a missed deadline escalates
Nebula checks trusted deadlines every 15 minutes, records each reminder stage and holds every follow-up for your review.

What the forward pass raises
You read the programme ahead through the forward pass, and each approaching bottleneck arrives as a finding for you to act on.
Your deliverable within five days of its deadline with no evidence attached raises its own alert. The pass writes nothing on its own, and every alert names what produced it.
If the engagement tightens
A response can harden into a dispute. Your record is ready without drama.
Formal notices
Required notices build from the agreement, with acknowledgement recorded.
Suspension rights
A suspension right is exercised from the clause window the agreement states.
Defect notices
A defect notice carries its rectification date and evidence.
Disputes
Grounds, evidence and outcomes stay on one dispute.
Exports
CSV, PDF, Word and ZIP files with audit and proof references.
How a formal notice is served
You serve a formal notice with its reference number, your signature and its proof reference in one act, with the notification outcome recorded beside it.
Whichever surface you serve from, the notice carries the same reference, signature and proof reference.
What a dispute brief holds
When an item is contested, you generate a dispute brief that holds the chronology, the agreement analysis, the submitted position and an evidence summary in one document.
The brief is marked as a Nebula reading, for your review, and it never stands as impartial evidence.
What an export renders
You export the agreed reading as one document that renders only what both parties signed, and an audit bundle containing its audit report, index and available proof bundles.
An insurance pack summarises the current delivery record, parties, item states, active packs and available proof references.
Week 15The slip needs more time, and the scope has grown.
A signed change updates the record
When a variation is signed, work, budget and schedule update together. An unsigned change is not in.
See the change record boundaries
The effect on price and programme is visible before agreement.
A lodged claim stays the stated position until the response is recorded.

Give the next job a stronger starting point
Finished work leaves more than a folder behind. The delivery history stays with the business, with confirmed outcomes to support its reputation and a record the next team can build on.
One event record sits beside two independent confirmation receipts, and each carries its own anchor.Explore confirmation and reputation records

Opportunities and tenders
Your posting, tender and revisions stay in one trail. An award opens your shared engagement; the resulting agreement still requires acceptance.
Your counterparty-confirmed delivery record can match you to opportunities by service region and engagement value. Self-reported profile fields do not affect that match.
