A Bastion challenge · 35 days
Enterprise cash bridge and earned settlement
An enterprise delivery must earn acceptance before its fee can settle. Engineering delivery earns a large receivable that cannot be collected before the horizon; credit evidence arrives later. Engineering delivery earns a large receivable that cannot be collected before the horizon; credit evidence arrives later. All fees, authority, eligible segments, excluded days, minimum work, evidence delays, deadlines and acceptance tests are supplied. Ordinary support, engineering and cash constraints still apply. Execution alone earns nothing. Full and split engineering deliveries are equally valid. Acceptance requires the completed work and measured service window; only subsequent due-date settlement produces cash. Retain earned receivables and unfulfilled obligations at the horizon. Bastion bills by seat, with 20% annual opening contracts. Build pipelines is independent; Compliance reports requires Build pipelines; Artifact registry requires Build pipelines; Release approvals requires Build pipelines. Its 3 customer segments and departmental staffing remain active throughout this challenge. Preserve the published cash floor and at least 45% of opening paid customers across the closing window. Ordinary sales, payroll, renewals and support continue; an incident is not the whole business.
