Agree. Work. Review. Continue.
A shared record connects the offer to the work and the compensation. Ownership requires a separate, deliberate decision.
Publish the opportunity
A builder lists the product, responsibilities, support, performance goals, and cash compensation. Projects still in development are labeled and can accept applications before their terms are published. Paid terms must be completed and accepted before work starts.
Review and accept
An applicant supplies evidence of relevant work. The builder sends an offer containing a saved agreement version and exact terms. The counterpart accepts or declines; no trial starts merely because an invitation was sent.
Run the paid trial
Log weekly results and keep supporting evidence. Register eligible deals before claiming collections. Performance milestones track progress and do not issue equity.
Settle compensation
Submit a commission or fee claim under the recorded agreement. The builder confirms the amount or records a dispute, reports an external payment, and the counterpart acknowledges receipt. Evidence and decisions remain in the history.
Decide what comes next
Both parties can agree to continue the commercial partnership. A formal cofounder grant requires a separate signed instrument and approvals after the trial. If the engagement ends, settle accrued compensation and the defined pipeline tail.
