Project Delivery
You Can See
We don't ask you to trust us — we show you.
Worql installs the infrastructure your project needs to be verifiable: acceptance criteria that define "done" before a line is written, a real-time dashboard you can read without a developer, and a decision governance system that eliminates the scope drift that burns founders. Start with a free Trust Debt Audit.
Software projects don't fail for technical reasons.
They fail because the systems connecting client intent to developer output have no structural integrity. Requirements are ambiguous. Decisions get made in Slack and forgotten. Scope changes happen without a formal record. Milestones are paid on trust rather than verified delivery.
Organizations respond to trust failures by adding controls — more checkpoints, more approvals, more meetings. But each control adds latency. Latency adds context loss. Context loss adds errors. Errors add more controls. It's a loop that compounds the problem it was designed to solve.
The alternative is not fewer controls. It's better infrastructure. Systems that generate trust structurally — so you don't have to ask for it.
The 10 trust signals of a verifiable engagement
Four phases. Every commitment tracked.
"Decisions should flow at the speed of policy, not the speed of the busiest person's inbox."
Trust Setup
- Requirements validation — gaps and contradictions flagged before development starts
- Decision authority schema — co-designed "project constitution" defining who decides what
- Acceptance criteria — every milestone gets machine-verifiable or evidence-backed criteria
- Escrow setup — milestone payments deposited before work begins
Governed Execution
- Real-time dashboard — live visibility into sprint progress and blockers
- Append-only ledger — every decision, change, and approval timestamped and attributed
- Scope management — all changes go through a formal diff: before, after, delta, impact
- Proactive risk disclosure — problems surfaced before you discover them
Verified Delivery
- Quality gates — code review, automated testing, and security scans block deployment
- Acceptance review — milestone criteria evaluated against evidence
- Escrow release — funds move on verified delivery, not on faith
- Clean handoff — documentation maintained continuously, code in client repo from day one
Trust Report
- Original scope vs. final delivery
- Timeline and budget accuracy
- All scope changes and how they were handled
- Code quality metrics, incidents, resolutions, and client satisfaction
System or team decides within pre-approved policy. No approval needed. Used for routine execution choices within established bounds.
System recommends; a named human confirms within a defined SLA. Used for decisions with meaningful client impact or cost implication.
System flags; a named human must decide within a timebound SLA. Used when a risk or blocker exceeds autonomous or validated thresholds.
Fully human by design — strategic, political, or values-based. The system records the decision and the reasoning, but humans own the call.
Most organizations believe governance slows delivery. The opposite is true. When decisions flow through a structured authority schema instead of ad-hoc escalation, they resolve faster — fewer things wait in inboxes, engineers spend more time building, and scope changes are processed in hours instead of weeks. The taxonomy doesn't add bureaucracy. It removes it.
Three ways to work with Worql
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. The right tier depends on whether you need a measurement, a full delivery, or the system itself deployed in-house.
Trust Debt Audit
A diagnostic assessment of your current project delivery infrastructure. Scored across five dimensions using the Trust Debt Audit Template. Free or fixed-fee depending on scope.
- Decision Infrastructure — how decisions get made and recorded
- Visibility — how progress is tracked and communicated
- Accountability — how commitments are tracked and enforced
- Quality — how "done" is defined and verified
- Communication — how problems surface and escalate
You walk away with a scored assessment, a gap analysis, and a prioritized set of recommendations — regardless of whether you engage Worql further.
Managed Execution
Full project delivery with trust infrastructure deployed from day one. Built for founders and non-technical stakeholders who need project health to be as readable as a bank statement.
- Acceptance criteria agreed before development starts
- Quality gates — code review, automated testing, security scans
- Client repo access from day one
- Worql Trust Report at project close
- Real-time dashboard — no status meetings required
- Proactive risk disclosure — problems surfaced early
- Milestone-based billing — pay per verified delivery event
- Decision authority schema — who decides what, before work starts
- Scope diffing — every change with before/after/delta/impact
- Append-only audit ledger — immutable record of every decision
- SLA enforcement — nothing material waits in an inbox
Milestone-based billing — escrow optional. You pay per verified delivery event, not per hour or per sprint. No surprises on invoices.
Trust Infrastructure Consulting
For organizations that want to build their own. We help you design and deploy the Worql system for your internal teams — without Worql as an ongoing vendor.
- Decision authority schema design — custom governance model for your team
- Scope management process — formal diff process for all scope changes
- Quality gate implementation — automated testing and code review infrastructure
- Audit system deployment — append-only ledger and compliance tooling
- Team training — how to operate the system, not just inherit it
Starts with a free Trust Debt Audit of your current delivery infrastructure. Outcome: your team delivers with Worql-grade verifiability, using your own infrastructure.
The Worql Trust Report
At the close of every Managed Execution engagement, you receive a Trust Report — a standardized document showing original scope vs. final delivery, timeline accuracy, budget accuracy, all scope changes and resolutions, code quality metrics, and client satisfaction. Think of it as a SOC 2 audit for project execution: a portable, third-party-verifiable record of how the engagement ran. You own it. You can share it with investors, auditors, or future vendors.
How this works in practice
If you're used to agencies that ask for trust upfront, the Worql model looks unusual. Here are the questions we hear most often.
You shouldn't need to understand code
to know if your project is on track.
Your investors are asking when the product ships. Your board wants to know why the last vendor went over budget. We make project health as readable as a bank statement — milestone balances, scope changes, decision history — all of it, in one place, updated in real time.
No cost. No obligation. A scored assessment of your current delivery infrastructure.
