A finance lead comparing contract, delivery, and draft invoice evidence before billing

Pre-invoice evidence control for mixed-billing agencies

Make the invoice match the deal.

Compare approved commercial terms, delivery records, and draft invoice exports before billing. One evidence-linked review, without replacing your operating stack.

Supervised and read-only. No invoice write access. No legal, tax, or accounting conclusions.

Is a diagnostic worth running?

Terms-to-Bill is designed for agencies where billing logic is split across agreements, delivery tools, and accounting exports. The score is transparent and stays in your browser.

  • 10 to 100 employees
  • 20 or more active client engagements
  • Retainers mixed with projects, milestones, amendments, or add-ons
  • A finance or operations reviewer who can confirm terms
Private fit check No upload. No email.

How much time goes into billing review each month?

Inspect the work, not a promise

From source evidence to a reviewable decision.

This interactive walkthrough uses fictional records from the local synthetic test corpus. It demonstrates the review structure, not production accuracy or a customer outcome.

In delivery, your reviewer makes the decision. Terms-to-Bill does not alter the invoice.

A bounded diagnostic, not another system

Four steps to a review-ready close packet.

The founding service begins only after source fit, authority, privacy, and security requirements are confirmed. No files are requested through this public page.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Confirm one engagement, one currency, the selected control pack, source window, reviewers, and exclusions.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Translate approved commercial terms into a reviewable term register with source references.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Check supported expected billing events against bounded delivery and draft invoice exports.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Review possible differences, coverage gaps, and evidence with the authorized customer reviewer.

Exact operating boundary

Useful because it knows where to stop.

The diagnostic is designed to surface review items and missing evidence without turning ambiguity into a monetary claim.

What arrives at the end

A close packet your reviewer can challenge.

01

Approved-term register

The commercial inputs used, their versions, source references, and unresolved ambiguities.

02

Evidence-linked review queue

Possible differences with direction, calculation, source lines, and explicit decision status.

03

Coverage and abstention map

What was checked, what was missing, and where the service deliberately did not conclude.

04

Decision and control notes

Your review outcomes, recurring root-cause candidates, and the next control worth testing.

Founding diagnostic

One difficult engagement. One fixed fee.

Use the founding diagnostic to test whether evidence-linked pre-invoice control is useful before considering a recurring workflow or integration.

  • One service engagement and one currency
  • Text-searchable agreement and relevant signed amendments
  • Up to 90 days of structured delivery and invoice exports
  • Selected supported controls and one review readout

Apply for a diagnostic

Start with business fit, not your contracts.

This application collects business contact and workflow information only. Do not include contracts, invoices, customer names, financial records, credentials, or other confidential data.

What happens next

We review fit, reply with a scoped source checklist or a clear no-fit answer, and only then discuss secure intake and payment.

Business contact data is used to assess and answer this request. See the privacy notice. Do not submit client or financial records here.

Before you apply

The questions finance teams ask first.

Terms-to-Bill is intentionally narrower than a PSA, billing platform, accounting audit, or contract-management suite.

Is this accounting or legal advice?

No. The service organizes supplied commercial evidence and produces review items. Your authorized finance, operations, legal, tax, and accounting professionals remain responsible for their decisions.

Does Terms-to-Bill connect to or change our systems?

Not in the founding diagnostic. The planned intake is export-based and read-only. The service does not create, approve, post, change, or send invoices.

What if the contract is ambiguous or data is incomplete?

The output records the conflict or coverage gap and abstains from a monetary conclusion. Missing evidence is not silently treated as zero.

Why not use our PSA or accounting platform?

Keep using it. Terms-to-Bill is aimed at the gap created when approved terms, delivery evidence, and invoices live in different places or were not consistently configured in one operating system.

Do you guarantee recovered revenue or fewer errors?

No. The founding service has synthetic engineering evidence but no completed customer diagnostic evidence. Possible differences require customer review, and no recovery, savings, accuracy, or completeness outcome is guaranteed.

Can I upload a contract with the application?

No. The public form deliberately refuses customer and financial records. A separate protected intake may be offered only after scope, authority, terms, privacy, security, retention, and reviewer requirements are satisfied.

Give the reviewer evidence, not another spreadsheet.
