Complete workflow from bidding and contracting to payment and milestone tracking.
Receiving and evaluating proposals from Labs.
Use the Radar Chart to visually compare proposals based on 3 criteria: Overall Match, Budget, and Duration.
When selecting a winning bid, the system will prompt for password verification (Step-up Auth) to ensure security.

Drafting and signing digital contracts.
Use the rich-text editor to modify terms and save drafts. Use @mention syntax to insert document references.
Once both parties sign the contract, the system automatically initializes a Research Project to begin execution tracking.
Monitoring and accepting work milestones.
Labs upload proof files and submit results. Requesters can review, reject (with reasons), or approve via password auth.
The system will lock subsequent milestones if the payment obligations for the current milestone or initial deposit are not met.
Managing secure transactions via Escrow.
Labs can issue a deposit request before starting work. Requesters upload transfer receipts as proof of payment.
Labs confirm successful receipt of funds to unlock progress for subsequent phases.
