A project is where a production comes together. You can mix sellers, packages, services and kit in one project, and it keeps each seller's part separate where it needs to be: quotes, payment, delivery and reviews.

The draft
Before you send anything, the project is a Draft, marked Not sent. The top shows your estimate, how many sellers are involved and Send for quotes.
- Items are grouped by seller. Each seller's band shows their name and their total in a white pill.
- Each item shows its type (Service, Package, Studio or Rental), its unit and its price in a blue pill. The cross removes it.
- Services, packages and studio bookings each have a date pill: red Select date until a date and time are set, then orange. If you only picked a day, it asks you to select a time. A studio booking's finish follows from the hours you booked.
- Rentals show their hire dates, or a red Select dates.
- Pricing and terms shows the subtotal, CIRI's 12% client service fee and the estimated total. Nothing is taken now.
Packages and services
A package is a fixed bundle: one price, with what's included listed in its details. A service is one piece of work with its own unit, such as per project or per hour. Both need a production date and time, and both are quoted, delivered, completed and reviewed as one item.
Sending it
Give the project a name and say what you need; that is what sellers read first. Save to draft keeps it for later. Send project inquiry sends it to every seller at once.
The workspace
Once sent, the project has tabs: Overview, Items, Delivery, Schedule, Messages and Activity. Each item's own work, from Start work to Approve delivery, sits on its card in Items.
- Each seller quotes their own items. You accept each quote.
- Payment has a panel per seller: each one is paid separately, in full, for exactly what you agreed.
- Each item moves through Booked, In progress, Delivered (awaiting review) and Completed. You approve each delivery or request a revision.
- Messages has a thread with everyone, and you can message one seller directly.
- If something goes wrong with one item, Report a problem works on that item alone.
- Cancel item is there too. Any refund is reviewed and carried out by CIRI before money moves.
Who sees what
Each seller sees only their own items and their own quote. CIRI's fee and your total are never shown to sellers.
