The billing cycle: turn tracked hours into invoices ready to send.
One cycle, no gaps between tracking time and getting paid for it. No detail gets lost between tracking time and billing for it.
1. Every hour logged already carries its cost and its place in the retainer.
2. Nothing reaches an invoice without a manager’s sign-off first.
3. The invoice reflects everything the project actually cost, not just the time.
4. What goes out matches what actually happened on the project.
