Verified people. An agreed plan. Protected project funds. Payment released as each milestone is documented and approved.

See a sample protected projectProject value $48,000. Milestone 3 of 5 is awaiting approval.
Illustrative example. Funds stay with the designated financial provider until the applicable release conditions are completed.
TradeOS provides the project, trust, and payment-coordination layer. Licensed financial or escrow partners may hold or transmit funds where required.
Identity, business, license, insurance, and Trust status are checked before anyone commits money.
Scope, price, milestones, evidence requirements, and approval rights are documented before work begins.
Project funds are placed with the designated licensed financial partner. The contractor can see funds are available without receiving them early.
Each milestone is documented, reviewed, and approved. Only then is a payment release instruction issued.
Watch a 75-second overview explaining how homeowners, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers coordinate payments through TradeOS TrustPay.
Payment releases follow the agreed project conditions.
Identity, license, insurance, and project history stay connected.
Contracts, evidence, approvals, and payment history stay in one place.
Every milestone carries its own checklist: what is required, who may submit it, and where each item stands.
12 photos covering rough plumbing lines, panel work, and device boxes.
Signed statement that the milestone scope is complete as written in the agreement.
Assistive check of photos and documents against the milestone definition.
Jurisdiction record for the rough plumbing and electrical inspection.
Waiver covering the amount requested on this milestone.
Recorded approval that the milestone conditions are satisfied.
Only applies if the scope or price changed on this milestone.
3 required items still outstanding, so the release instruction for this milestone is not yet eligible to be issued.
Illustrative example. Required evidence, permitted submitters, and review steps depend on the signed agreement, jurisdiction, and financial partner requirements. TradeOS documents the record; it does not inspect construction work or guarantee any outcome.
Only the affected release pauses. The disputed milestone and its funds are isolated while the rest of the project keeps its own conditions, evidence, and schedule, where the agreement and the financial partner permit it.
TradeOS coordinates the record. It does not decide the outcome, provide legal advice, or act as an arbitrator.

Pilot pricing concept. Not final or binding. Pricing, financial-partner fees, payment processing costs, and availability may vary by project, provider, payment method, jurisdiction, risk, and final product configuration. No payment account is opened through this page.
A portion of the Project Protection Fee may be returned as Trade Credits after eligible project milestones or successful completion.
A portion of credits may be issued once the project is activated.
Additional credits may be issued when eligible milestones or completion are documented.
Bonus credits may be issued for qualified referrals that activate a Protected Project.
Trade Credits are a proposed pilot incentive and may be subject to eligibility, expiration, product availability, and program terms. Trade Credits are not cash, are not redeemable for cash, and do not represent financing or insurance approval.
Toggle the controls a project has in place to see how readiness changes. This is an illustrative indicator, not a rating.
11 of 14 project controls are in place.
The Protected Project Score is an informational readiness indicator based on available project controls and verified data. It is not an insurance rating, credit score, guarantee, legal opinion, contractor quality guarantee, or underwriting decision.
TradeOS is built by a company that has run real service and installation work — not by a payments company guessing at how construction projects actually behave.
Contractors are the fastest path to protected work. Every protected project produces documented history that makes the next one easier to win.
The contractor adds TrustPay to a contract and documents scope, milestones, and evidence.
