Handshake gigs scope-creep?

Freelancers start handshake gigs yearly. Payments stall disputably.

1. The problem

Independent freelancers start client gigs handshake-only yearly. Scope creeps unpaid endlessly. Late payments stall awkwardly. Kill fees never agreed. The hardest part is signed paperwork fast. A client might ghost invoices. That uncertainty makes it hard to work protected.

What people are saying

“Starting handshake yearly here. I need plain builders with design flows.”

2. What exists

HelloSign, Bonsai and templates paper gigs, while handshakes persist yearly. Tools charge monthly seats. A template might confuse clauses. There is little help with plain builders plus design flows for solos.

3. The solution

The solution could be a work-protected engine. It could fill plain templates simply. It could sign digitally in minutes. Late-fee clauses could enforce politely. The goal would be paid invoices, respected scopes.
