WF-02 — Stage-gate invoicing. 1 human step, 4 automated steps, about 7 hours a month reclaimed.

  1. Step 1. RIBA stage signed off (PROJECT)
  2. Step 2. Match stage to the fee schedule
  3. Step 3. Draft the invoice (XERO)
  4. Step 4. Attach the stage evidence
  5. Step 5. Invoice issued + logged (XERO)

Risk points in this workflow:

  • Drawdown not raised. A signed-off stage with no invoice behind it is unbilled work ageing quietly.

Steps you still do:

  • Approve and release
