Deposit first, then payment per validated delivery
The project starts with an initial deposit. After that, payment happens delivery by delivery, once each milestone has been validated by the client. This keeps the pace and checkpoints clear.
The goal is to avoid ambiguity, implicit expectations, and scope drift. The framework is set early, validated, then executed delivery by delivery.
Each step protects execution quality, scope clarity, and the working relationship. What gets executed is what was validated, not informal additions made along the way.
This approach keeps a project readable, validations clean, and deliveries consistent. It removes ambiguity around scope, payment, and deployment.

The specification document defines what gets executed. What is not included there is not part of the initial execution. If new needs appear, they must be reframed and explicitly validated before being added.
We discuss the real need, constraints, priorities, ambition level, and business context. The goal is to remove misunderstandings before execution starts.
The specification document defines what will actually be executed. Only what is included there is meant to be built. It is validated by the client before launch.
We define the number of deliveries, the validation rhythm, and the payment structure: initial deposit, then payment per delivery once validated by the client.
Once the framework, scope, and payments are validated, development starts on a clear basis. Execution then follows the agreed specification.
The planned elements are delivered according to the defined milestones. Each delivery is reviewed and validated before moving to the next one or closing the project.
After final validation, the project is launched in its target environment with the planned technical frame: hosting, configuration, domain, access, and production release.
A maintenance phase can then take over for follow-up, fixes, scoped evolutions, and product continuity after launch.
