A Anvil challenge · 35 days
Core deployment acceptance and earned settlement
An enterprise delivery must earn acceptance before its fee can settle. Deployment usage competes with engineering delivery; a short cash settlement follows acceptance. Deployment usage competes with engineering delivery; a short cash settlement follows acceptance. 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. Anvil bills by seat, with 20% annual opening contracts. Build pipelines is independent; Compliance reports is independent. 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.
