Legal parameters and the practice of settling collaborations — with the source and reading date next to every figure.
- A private risk signal about the payer
The same counterparty can pay after sixty days every single time — and you only recall it afterwards.
- Exclusivity conflicts: what we compare with what
An exclusivity signed six months ago is easy to break by accident — nobody remembers every commitment at once.

A dispute is rarely about whether the work was done — it is about who accepted it, and when.
- Matching payments: reference, amount, balance
Recognising a payment does not require keeping a copy of your bank history.
- The media kit, and when its numbers were measured
A brand asks for your reach and you assemble screenshots from five apps — from scratch every time.
- One shared view of what was agreed
The brand types “ok, great” in a chat — and that is all you have when you need to show they agreed to these terms.
