Client approvals you can prove later
Your client presses Approve and confirms with a code sent to their email. You keep a record of who approved which version, the exact words and when.
- Clients need no account
- Confirmed by an emailed code
- A certificate for every sign-off
How it works
Three steps, one link
Step 1: Send the round
Each version is a round (V1, V2 …) that freezes what was reviewed: a website, an image, a PDF or a video. Send your client one link.
Step 2: They approve with a code
Your client reads the sentence they are agreeing to, presses Approve and types the 6-digit code from their email. Or they press Request changes.
Step 3: You keep the record
The sign-off record stores who approved, the exact sentence, the time and a fingerprint of every approved file, with a certificate page you can share.
The certificate your client approved
The sign-off record for round 2 of a demo website: who approved it, how it was confirmed, the exact statement and the time.
Questions
Do my clients need an account to approve?
No. Your client opens the link you send and approves. They never create an account or a password.
Why does approving need a code?
The code is sent to the email on the review, so it proves the approval came from that person. Nobody can approve for them just by having the link.
What is in the sign-off record?
The project, the round, the exact sentence the client agreed to, their name and email, the time, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of every approved file.
Can a sign-off record be changed later?
Each record carries the fingerprint of the one before it (a hash chain). Changing or deleting an old record would break the chain, and our check would show it.
What if my client isn’t ready to approve?
They press Request changes and say what still needs work. You get their note and can upload a new round.
Can a client approve with small fixes still to do?
Yes. They can approve with minor changes, and the record says so.
