A checklist is useful when it prompts a decision, not when it repeats tasks no one owns.
Why this matters
A checklist is useful when it prompts a decision, not when it repeats tasks no one owns.
Use it before delivery to confirm the files, access, instructions, reviewer and next action.
Keep the completed checklist with the version actually sent to the client.
Practical playbook
Use this sequence before the situation becomes a long thread of messages. It is designed for a freelance project where both sides need the same understanding of what happens next.

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.
Protect the next deal
Dealokr helps reduce the risk of starting work without a protected payment journey or handing over final files too early. Stripe Connect handles payments where configured; Dealokr connects the payment state to protected delivery and validation without holding client funds or replacing professional advice.
