"If it's not signed, you don't start."
Client wants to add "just one more quick thing" mid-project? Edit the live agreement. The system locks the project and forces a re-signature and payment before you do any extra work.
Simple. Secure. Legit.
Only pay when you are actually using it.
"I lost $15k on a refund because of a bad contract."
I was a metal worker. I did the work, bought the materials, and installed the project. But because my "contract" was just a text message, when the client changed their mind, I had no legal leg to stand on.
