Use cases

Built for the projects that carry real obligations.

Construction, infrastructure, property, defence and commonwealth, insurance, energy, and the supply agreements between them. Each section states the project, what it brings, and what Nebula returns. The same engine carries any defining document with parties, money and dates.

Reads whatever defines the work

Contracts, scopes of work, technical specifications, requirements, briefs, MSAs and design documents.

01 · Construction

The head contract states the dates. The delivery runs a clause behind them.

The documents know everything. Practical completion, separable portions, liquidated damages rates, progress claim windows: the head contract, its schedules and the specifications state them all. The tracking lives in spreadsheets that drift from the signed words within a month.

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • A head contract with portions, milestones and liquidated damages rates

    Every commitment extracted with its clause, date and amount, then watched on a 15-minute cycle

  • Extension-of-time claims and variations in flight

    Each change recorded against the dates it moves, signed by both parties before it takes effect

  • Progress claims on a contractual window

    Claim windows watched; the reminder lands before the window, the escalation after it

  • Arguments over which version is in force

    The version in force is the one both parties signed; originals preserved in the audit trail

02 · Infrastructure

Programs outlive the people who set them up.

The record must hold without a custodian. Multi-year delivery, staged approvals and regulatory acknowledgements span teams, contractors and turnover. Whatever was agreed in year one must still be provable, current and sequenced in year four.

How the record holds its shape

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • A program of staged milestones and approvals

    A sequenced record: each commitment linked to what depends on it, re-planned when anything moves

  • Regulatory acknowledgements with statutory dates

    Dated obligations watched around the clock; escalation on slip

  • Handovers between delivery teams

    One record for both parties, every version preserved with its author and time

  • Board and regulator reporting

    The audit trail, exportable on the day it is asked for

03 · Property development

Every project is a web of consultant agreements.

The developer holds the exposure. Architects, engineers, certifiers, agents and builders each hold an agreement with their own deliverables, fees and dates. When one slips, the slip lands on the development program.

Check a claimed record

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • A dozen consultant agreements on one development

    Each agreement read into the same record; deliverables, fees and dates in one view

  • Milestones that gate finance drawdowns

    Dated commitments with their dependencies; the exposure is visible before the drawdown call

  • Counterparties of unknown reliability

    Track records built from anchored delivery events, checkable without an account

  • Disputes near settlement

    Counter-offers bounded at three rounds, then escalation; the signed version governs

04 · Defence and commonwealth

The pack matches the sector. The engine stays the same.

Conventions are first-class. Classification levels, approval thresholds and extension-of-time conventions are built into the defence, commonwealth and infrastructure packs. The same record, sequencing and proof run underneath.

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • OFFICIAL: SENSITIVE material in the documents

    A classification recorded on every commitment; the handling posture stated plainly on the security page

  • Approval thresholds by delegation

    Approvals tracked as dated obligations, each grounded to the clause that requires it

  • Extension-of-time conventions

    EOTs as first-class changes, signed by both parties before effect

  • Procurement diligence

    SOC 2 controls and IRAP-aligned matrices under NDA; data resident in Sydney

05 · Insurance

Every claim is a bundle of deadlines the insurer answers for.

The policy states the clock. Acknowledgement windows, assessor appointments and repair milestones all carry dates, delivered through a panel of builders and assessors the insurer does not control. The breach lands on the insurer either way.

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • A panel of builders and assessors on service agreements

    Each agreement read into one record; response times watched per claim

  • Code and policy response windows

    Dated obligations with the reminder before the window and the escalation past it

  • Panel suppliers of mixed reliability

    Track records from anchored delivery events, visible before assignment

  • Disputed scopes of repair

    Counter-offers bounded at three rounds; the signed scope governs

06 · Energy and utilities

Connection dates, outage notices and restore times, across contractors.

The network does not wait. Connection agreements, planned outage notice periods and maintenance contracts with restore times span years and contractors. The dates are contractual; the tracking is usually a spreadsheet per depot.

How the record holds its shape

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • Maintenance contracts with response and restore times

    Every window watched around the clock; escalation on breach

  • Planned outage notice periods

    Notice deadlines as dated obligations, reminded before they fall due

  • Multi-year contractor panels

    Reliability scores built from delivered work alone

  • Variations on connection works

    Each change signed by both parties before it takes effect

07 · Supply and service agreements

The service credit is only as good as the record behind it.

Credits and penalties turn on proof. Supply agreements and facilities contracts carry response times, uptime commitments and delivery windows. When the credit is claimed, the argument is over whose record counts.

The project brings

Nebula returns

  • Response and restore times in a facilities contract

    Each window watched; the breach record kept with its evidence

  • Service credits that turn on proof

    Anchored events neither side can rewrite after the fact

  • Rolling renewals and price variations

    Changes recorded and signed by both parties before effect

  • Supplier scorecards built by hand

    Reliability scores from delivered work alone
