Frequently Asked Questions
How can I avoid paying out-of-pocket for expensive cloud compute costs while waiting for a client check?
Digital invoices enable you to bill for 'Compute Pass-through' costs immediately upon accrual, ensuring you maintain a positive cash flow instead of acting as a high-interest bank for your clients.
Clients often question the hours spent on model training; how do I reduce these payment disputes?
Using a digital invoicing system allows you to attach training logs and performance metrics directly to your bill, providing the technical transparency needed to trigger instant approvals and payments.
What is the most effective way to enforce late fees on ML projects without damaging client relationships?
Automated digital invoices allow you to program 'Late Fee' triggers directly into the terms, shifting the friction from a personal confrontation to a standard, system-enforced business process.
