πŸ“ Our Structured Data Workspace

We use a dedicated Google Drive folder to manage our relationship. This page explains the required folder schema (how you *must* organize files) to ensure our data flow is clean, organized, and efficient.

Welcome, Contractor / VA!

To work with us, all files must be organized correctly. This folder is your single source of truth. Following this folder schema is not optionalβ€”it's how we manage projects, track payments, and maintain compliance. Your organization is key to our process.

🎯 Single Source of Truth

No more hunting through emails. All filesβ€”contracts, invoices, projects, and researchβ€”are in one organized place.

⏱️ Find Files Faster

This standardized schema means you know exactly where to find a document (like an old invoice) or where to save a new one.

βœ… Clear Accountability

This system creates a transparent log. We can both see what was submitted, when it was submitted, and what the next step is.

πŸ’Έ Streamlined Payments

When you put your invoice in the right folder (`invoicesSubmitted`), it enters our payment queue. Organized files = faster payments.
