Founder note
No COI on file, no authorization to proceed — the compliance mindset veteran GCs already have
The same readiness mindset that works in the field also works for vendor compliance.
Proof before movement
Good teams do not rely on memory when risk is high. They define the requirement, verify it, and make the status visible.
The construction version
For GCs, the gate is simple: no current COI, W-9, license, or required form means the vendor is not ready.
The software role
Send The Proof keeps that gate practical. It collects files, tracks dates, and shows status without more spreadsheet work.
What to enforce
- Set the required proof.
- Make upload easy.
- Review before work starts.
- Keep the record.
