Why build here
BeUntethered charges a transparent client fee. Your accepted facilitator amount is not reduced by a marketplace commission.
Milestone state is explicit: pending funding, funded, submitted, audited, approved, paid, or disputed.
Completed milestones, audit scores, dispute history, and verification signals become part of your marketplace profile.
Document your AI tool stack, code assistants, review process, and BYOK setup so clients understand how you deliver outcomes.
Use BYOC for facilitator-sourced clients who need milestone escrow, evidence setup, and delivery controls around an existing relationship.
Milestone workflow
Facilitators should be able to understand the next required action at every point in the delivery cycle. This is the workflow the app is being shaped around.
Add identity, Stripe payout readiness, portfolio links, skills, availability, and AI tool stack.
Review open projects, invited bids, saved searches, scope quality, budget, timeline, and buyer readiness.
Submit delivery plans with scope, risks, timeline, acceptance criteria, and a clear escrow requirement.
Attach artifacts, links, notes, and completion proof so the client and audit report can review the milestone.
When the milestone passes review and the client approves, payout records make the release traceable.
Evidence ownership
Strong proposals do more than name a price. They explain what you will prove, what the client must provide, what gets handed off, and what needs manual review.
Attach repositories, previews, service dashboards, deployment logs, and implementation artifacts you control.
Call out account access, domains, datasets, production credentials, and approvals the buyer must provide.
Make release notes, credentials, operating guides, and go-live responsibilities explicit before approval.
Use documents, screenshots, recordings, and acceptance notes where direct provider checks are not possible.
Proof network
BeUntethered connects to the deployment, repository, and service tools software teams already use — so milestone evidence is inspectable, not just described.
Attach live preview URLs so clients can test before they approve.
Service URLs, deployment logs, health checks, and worker status as evidence.
Repositories, migrations, pull requests, DNS, and launch checks.
BYOC support
BYOC is for existing facilitator-client work that needs BeUntethered's escrow, evidence, and workflow controls going forward. Origin agreements stay outside platform arbitration.
Facilitator economics
The calculator still uses hourly inputs for comparison because the market thinks that way, but BeUntethered's operating model is milestone-based. Your proposal should translate effort into outcomes, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.
