Capture the objective, audience, constraints, examples, owner, deadline and success signal.
A list of requests without priorities is not yet a decision-ready brief.

Common question
No. Dealokr helps protect the commercial steps of a freelance deal through clear terms, a protected payment journey via the configured provider, protected delivery and approval. Legal, tax and accounting obligations remain those of the parties.
Keep the relevant terms, the version or event in question, the client response and the next agreed action together so the timeline can be understood later.
Your next project
Keep the terms, payment step, delivery and approval together so both sides know what happens next.
