Your move
Check the price can carry the delay
Map when project cash leaves and enters using your approved numbers and dates.
Map when cash leaves and enters the project using your own numbers. The useful result is visibility: delivery costs, tools, taxes you set aside, invoices, due dates, and the gap between them.
Do this now
Three moves, in order.
- List the cash outflows and dates you expect for this work.
- List each approved invoice amount, trigger, and due date.
- Move terms, scope, or price only through an explicit owner decision—not an AI recommendation presented as fact.
Build the artifact
Cash-safe price card
Copy these fields into a note, document, or sheet you already use.

Deposit, milestone, price, scope, or reserve choice
Give AI the bounded job
Prompt from your artifact—not from vibes.
Build a cash-timing table from these approved amounts and dates. Show arithmetic and missing values. Do not recommend a margin, tax reserve, late fee, financing product, or contract term.
Before you use it
The work leaves your hands only when:
- Every number ties to an approved estimate, agreement, invoice, or owner assumption.
- Assumptions are visibly labeled.
- The owner makes pricing and financing decisions.
