Step-by-Step Timeline

How the project progressed from brief to delivery.

1

Post a Brief

What happened

The business posted a short project brief with required skills, budget, and timeline.

Platform action

Our matching system analysed the brief and generated a shortlist of qualified developers.

2

Smart Shortlist

What happened

As soon as the brief was activated, a curated shortlist of up to 8 matched developers was generated and invites automatically sent (illustrative example).

Why it mattered

Only relevant, vetted developers were invited — no spam, no bidding.

3

Invite & Proposals

What happened

The business received structured proposals with timelines and milestone plans from 6 of the freelancers invited.

Outcome

They selected the best fit and funded the first milestone.

Each milestone was funded in advance and held securely until approved.

5

Review & Release

For each milestone:

  1. Work submitted
  2. Reviewed against acceptance criteria
  3. Funds released only after approval

If changes were needed, the milestone returned to “In Progress”.

Outcome

Project completed in 28 days

Clear scope, predictable delivery, no disputes.

“The milestone structure and payment protection made it easy to manage risk and stay on schedule.”
