2

Milestones Set

Work stages defined with amounts, descriptions, required documentation

5

Funds Released

7-condition gate verifies ALL requirements. Funds disbursed instantly.

Perplexity AI is the Governor of Every Dollar

Before any milestone payment releases, Perplexity Sonar AI evaluates the evidence and issues a formal assessment.

Before any milestone payment releases, Perplexity Sonar AI reviews the submitted evidence against the deal context.

The AI scores the draw request 0–100, flags risk factors, and issues a formal recommendation: Approve, Hold, or Reject.

This assessment is cryptographically logged to an immutable audit trail — permanent, tamper-proof, legally defensible.
