THE DIRECT ANSWER

Translate the accepted proposal into deliverables, review responsibilities, customer inputs and commercial assumptions. Link each phase to the evidence required for its agreed billing treatment, keeping additional services distinct from the base engagement. Preserve the technical review process separately so completing an administrative task does not imply professional approval of a design.

Understand the decision

A project may include an options assessment, a developed design and responses during construction, each dependent on different client information. The project manager needs to see those dependencies and exclusions. Staff also need a clear place to record effort without deciding commercial eligibility from the timesheet alone.

Work through the requirements

  1. Define deliverables and required customer inputs.
  2. Assign technical and commercial review owners.
  3. Map phases to the accepted fee structure.

Watch for this failure

Using one completed status for drafting, checking and commercial acceptance hides important responsibilities. Keep the review stages distinct and have the project owner explain which evidence supports release and billing under the actual engagement.

Continue the evaluation

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
