One thread from SOW to payment

Delivery OS holds the thread across the whole engagement, so every change, sign-off and invoice traces back to what was agreed. Your plans can live here too, but they don't have to.

  1. Delivery model and SOW

    How it's delivered, how it's paid, who signs off.

  2. Milestones

    Each piece of work tied to what it releases.

  3. The work

    In Jira, Monday, your PSA, or here.

  4. Sign-off

    A named authority, a date, a version.

  5. Billable

    Released by the sign-off, nothing else.

  6. Finance ⇄

    Sees what to invoice, records what's paid.

The decisions around the work

Delivery OS is not where the work is managed. It's where the commercial decisions about the work are recorded.

    Agreement

    The SOW, the price and every change, each with its cost and the days it adds, agreed by the people you name.

    Sign-off

    Who can sign off what, up to what value. A sign-off beyond someone's authority is flagged and held as not billable until it's put right.

Installed with you, not handed over

COOherent builds Delivery OS, sets it up with you and helps the people who run delivery use it well.

Delivery OS

Where your delivery and finance teams record what was agreed, delivered, signed off and billable. Delivery OS is designed to work with AI switched off. AI only proposes; a person agrees every change, and the record shows who.

Mobilisation

Set up with you in one or two one-hour calls, from the documents you already have, so your first engagements are under control from the start, not after a long rollout.

Advisory

Expert help making commercial control part of how your firm delivers: where it slips today, how agreement and sign-off should work, and people trained to run it.

Alex Weekes, founder. 11 years leading product delivery for organisations from start-ups to multinational corporations — and coaching and training teams to run it themselves. He built Delivery OS and is testing it on his own client delivery.

Bring one live engagement.

Alex will map it with you in 30 minutes: what was agreed, delivered and signed off, and what that means commercially. The next step is a free proof on that engagement: five working days, with your decision by day 10.
