Total proposed scope and fee: [summary]

Repeat for each useful stage:
Milestone: [name]
Required inputs: [material, access, and permission]
Deliverable: [inspectable output]
Acceptance criteria: [specific checks]
Reviewer: [name or role]
Target date: [date and dependencies]
Amount: [part of total quote]
Funding/status to verify: [through the actual platform or agreement]
Next stage starts when: [clear condition]

Check: amounts reconcile to the total; review time is included; changes have a process.
Proposing a milestone does not prove that it has been funded. Confirm the actual contract, funding and payment terms before beginning. This is a planning worksheet, not a legal contract.
