01 · How it works

Set the contract once. Claim from it forever.

The heavy lifting is at the start — and even that, the platform does. After that, each period is a review, not a rebuild.

01
01 / Bring the paperwork

The AI reads it

Drop in the subcontract and a past claim. Our AI reads across every document and synthesises the whole contract — parties, retention, and line items reconciled to the cent.

The claim, already drafted

The next claim is drafted from the contract and everything you've claimed to date. Review, adjust, finalise — the maths is already right, down to the retention.

↳ Computed, not guessed

03 / Serve & track
served → schedule due · 10 bd

The clock, watched

Submit generates the statutory PDF, emails the right contacts, and starts the reference-date countdown — so you know the moment a payment schedule is overdue.

◷ Per-jurisdiction deadlines

AI · when their schedule comes back

Their schedule, matched to your claim automatically.

Upload the head contractor's payment schedule. Our AI reads it and lines every response up against your claim — accepted, scheduled, or disputed, with the retention they withheld and a confidence score on each.

  • Matched per line item — nothing keyed by hand
  • Low-confidence and unmatched lines flagged for review
  • You confirm — the AI never commits anything on its own

· every business day counted

The statutory clock, watched — across eight jurisdictions.

Every jurisdiction's business days, public holidays and deadlines are built in and verified against the Act. Serve a claim and the countdown starts; switch jurisdiction and every date recomputes — Australia and New Zealand, one platform.

  • Reference dates, service windows & payment due dates per Act
  • Public holidays & summer shutdowns counted correctly
  • Overdue schedules surfaced the day they lapse

$ · retention

Retention, to the cent — held, released, reconciled.

Decimal-exact and banker's-rounded, every period. Withheld against the contract cap, then released in tranches when practical completion and the defects period trigger — never a spreadsheet drift, never a rounding argument.

  • Percent or max-value methods, cap-aware every claim
  • Initial-release & defects tranches, triggered on completion
  • A per-contract ledger reconciled against the schedule

Drafted, costed, retention-computed and served — as structured data with a statutory PDF of record.

Respond with a schedule

Every accepted, scheduled and disputed line lands back against the same claim — reconciled automatically.

03 · coverage

Statutory scope, built in.

Each jurisdiction's deadlines, declaration text and form requirements live in the platform — human-verified against the consolidated Act. Adding one is a config change, not a rebuild.
