Recourse Guide
Paying in Milestones
Break a larger task into clear stages, with payment released as the work progresses.
Setting up milestones
Give each stage a clear outcome.
For every milestone, agree on:
- What will be completed
- How much will be released
- When the stage is expected
- What needs to happen before approval
The milestone amounts should add up to the full agreed payment.

HowMilestonesWork
Step 1: Fund the payment
The buyer funds the agreed payment before the task moves forward.
Step 2: Complete a stage
The provider completes the work agreed for that milestone.
Step 3: Review the outcome
Both parties check that the agreed stage is complete.
Step 4: Approve the release
Once both sides approve, Wlbr releases the milestone amount to the provider.
The remaining funds stay securely held for the next stage.
If something changes
Agree on it before moving forward.
Update the scope, amount or timing before additional work begins.
If something isn’t right, don’t approve the affected milestone. Talk to the other party or raise a dispute.
