The protected payment guide

A concise guide to the payment lifecycle, the shared Payment Room, and how disputed cases are prepared for human review.

How it works

Both sides see the deliverable, the deadline, and the release rule before any money moves.

USDC is held in escrow under the agreed terms.

The worker submits the agreed deliverable and delivery evidence.

Evidence is organized and connected to the terms of the agreement.

If there is a disagreement, AI prepares the case and reviewers decide the outcome.

The settlement is executed on Celo and a plain-language receipt is issued.

Everything both parties need to see in one place: the agreement, the money state, the evidence, and what happens next.

Deliverable, deadline, release rule, dispute window, and evidence expectation. Visible to both sides before any funds are deposited.

Amount, USDC, escrow status, and relevant deadlines. A sticky strip keeps the payment state visible throughout the Payment Room.

Delivery proof connected to the terms. Evidence remains private and off-chain. A verification reference is recorded on Celo.

If the parties disagree, the payment is frozen. AI organizes the claims and evidence into a neutral case packet for human review.

Reviewers vote. The contract executes the outcome: funds release to the worker, return to the client, or split as decided.

A plain-language document explains the final outcome, participating wallets, relevant actions, and a Celo verification link.

Reclaim uses AI to organize claims, build timelines, separate positions, and identify missing evidence. It does not decide who wins.

Distinguish the client claim from the worker claim and structure the disagreement clearly.

Map what happened and when across the full lifecycle of the payment.

Identify missing evidence, contradictions, and unresolved questions for reviewers to consider.
