How the engagement moves through delivery
01
Form
Record the agreed delivery position
Project members can upload the professional services agreement and create delivery items. Each item records its owner, counterparty and due date; an item read from the document can also show its clause reference.
What stays connected
Agreement file, item, owner, counterparty, due date and source clause.
02
Plan
Connect inputs, questions and dates
Design reviews, site inspections and requested inputs can be recorded as delivery items. Dependencies connect prerequisites to later work, while project members can add questions with an optional answer-by date.
What stays connected
Delivery item, owner, due date, dependency, question and optional answer-by date.
03
Deliver
Separate claimed delivery from verification
The item owner can claim completion and attach supporting evidence. The other project party can review the evidence and record verification or a dispute against the delivery item.
What stays connected
Completion claim, supporting evidence, acting organisation, verification or dispute.

Record a proposed services change

Delivery trust
Keep eligible verified delivery history available
For verified item events, Nebula applies its eligibility rules before it can record a reputation event in an organisation's service history. A prospective client decides whether that record is relevant to a later appointment.
