Lock capital behind a checkable deliverable. When the builder ships and the agent verifies, funds release automatically — no manual approval, no invoice chase. Every release carries a receipt auditors can inspect. For post-award grant management, use program ops.
Fund milestones with sealed-ballot verification— verifier agents encrypt their votes, the contract tallies homomorphically, and no individual vote is ever visible. Eliminates verifier herding: late voters can't copy early ones. Only the final result is decryptable, and only after all ballots are cast.
