Progress claims and close-out

Bring completed work, previous claims and supporting records together. Prepare the next payment application and keep the outstanding close-out documents in view.

From progress to handover

Do not leave the records until the end.

A payment application needs evidence of the work. Close-out needs its own records. Keep both visible as the project moves forward.

Questions

What people ask about progress claims and close-out.

Can we check the figures before sending an application?

Yes. Your team can review extracted values beside their source passages and approve or edit them. The example keeps measured work and previous claims together for that check.

Can the app follow our contract-specific process?

Yes. We can build the workflows and app around your process and data. Your team sets the calculation rules, review steps and required records.

Do we have to build the app ourselves?

No. We can map your process, build the workflows and the app, and hand your team something ready to use. Your team can change it later or ask us to.

Can we change the fields and review steps?

Yes. Describe what you need to the Assistant. It can change workflows and apps, with every change shown for your approval.

Is our project data used to train models?

No. Your documents and results are never used to train a model, and a data processing addendum backs that.

Which document-heavy job would you hand over first?

Bring one process you want to improve and the information behind it. We build the first version with you in the session, so the first thing you see is your own work, running.
