Guide to client-approved deliverables
A client-approved deliverable is not just a file the client has seen. It is a specific version accepted through a defined approval process.
Built For
- agency owners
- operations teams
- delivery leads
Failure Mode
- Final deliverables are often just the latest file someone sent.
- Clients approve direction but later dispute execution.
- Teams lack a system-of-record for what was accepted.
FinalMark Fit
- Define the portal as the approval surface.
- Separate draft exports from official snapshots.
- Preserve approval evidence alongside the deliverable.
Approval Evidence Buyers Care About
Client-certified deliverable standard
Evidence hash after approval
System-of-record statement
The Rule
A deliverable is official only when the client approves the submitted version inside the portal. Draft exports, informal messages, and comments are not the system of record.
