Every party named, every decision recorded
The whole point of the coordination layer is that accountability stays explicit. For every project you can see exactly who is doing what — and none of it is hidden behind “our vetted network.”
Seven things that stay explicit
Who the contracting party is
You always know who you are under agreement with — and who you are not. The contract model is locked before acceptance and named in plain language.
Who invoices and receives each payment
Every quote, invoice and payment screen names the receiving party. Under Model B, direct payments name each provider; the coordination fee is described and invoiced on its own.
Which businesses are expected on site
Every participant is disclosed by name before work begins. Disclosure is not the Collective pre-verifying them.
Which party owns each work package
Each package has exactly one accountable owner at a time. A participant can own several; a package is never owned by “the team.”
Which credentials apply to regulated work
Regulated work proceeds only through an appropriately authorized party whose evidence is recorded for the job — checked against appropriate sources, never inferred.
What Shared Plan coordinates vs performs
The plan states clearly which packages Shared Plan performs directly and which it coordinates — the roles are never blurred.
What changed, who approved it and when
Every change is a versioned record: the customer reviews the exact version and accepts or declines before work continues. Nothing changes silently.
Four roles, always named
- Shared Plan
- Coordinator / contracting. Owns the plan, the sequence and the record; is the coordinator, and under Model A the contracting party.
- A disclosed subcontractor
- Disclosed subcontractor. Named for a specific job and disclosed before work — performs one or more packages, but is not pre-verified by the Collective.
- A synthetic authorized provider
- Authorized provider. An appropriately authorized party for a regulated package, whose evidence is recorded for the job and never inferred.
- You, the customer
- Customer. Owns the decisions, selections, approvals and site access — and signs off at closeout.
Two contract models — locked, never mixed
Shared Plan supports two contract models. Under Model A you contract with Shared Plan, which discloses and manages the subcontractors under its own agreement and receives your payments. Under Model B, Shared Plan coordinates while you contract and pay one or more disclosed providers directly, and its coordination fee is invoiced separately.
A single project locks one model before acceptance and cannot switch to the other silently. The demo illustrates both as clearly labelled scenarios — only the merchant’s configured, legally reviewed model would be enabled in production.
Model A. You contract with Shared Plan. It discloses and manages subcontractors under its agreement, and your payments go to Shared Plan's configured account. Shared Plan stays the named customer-facing contracting party.
Put every moving part on one shared plan.
Share the goal and constraints. Shared Plan confirms fit, then draws a plan with named parties, sequence and budget — for you to approve before anything is scheduled.
