Firms capture and sign the work. It becomes a verifiable envelope. The client checks every line and the bill settles itself — end to end, on a loop.
The protocol is four product surfaces that hand off to each other — the firm captures and signs, the settlement layer seals it, the client verifies, the bill clears. Here is each one.
Firms capture billable work as it happens and sign it at submission — no timesheets, no Friday reconstruction. The bill is evidence the moment it leaves the firm.
On the open settlement layer the invoice becomes content-addressed, signed, and anchored to a public root — verifiable by anyone, alterable by no one. It transmits both ways.
The envelope arrives and each line is reconstructed and matched against the client's own calendars, documents, and engagement terms. No trust required — the evidence agrees, or it doesn't.
Signed work meets its verification and the bill clears — zero manual entry, zero reconciliation, zero-day payment cycle. The invoice, as a thing you argue over, is dead.
The same evidence produces the same result — for the firm defending the line and the client checking it.
No one has to trust the other's numbers. Neither side depends on the other to reconcile.
Every bill is a content-addressed, signed envelope anchored to a public root — alterable by no one.
