What Steadyhand solves
Scope disputes, payment delays, and missing paper trails are not bad luck — they are a process problem. Steadyhand fixes the process.
Clients asking for more than what was agreed, then disputing the extra cost.
Every job starts with a signed scope agreement. What's included and what isn't is locked in writing before work begins — protecting you and giving the client clarity.
Chasing invoices, waiting 60 days, disputes over what was delivered.
Milestone payments are held and released on approval. You submit, the client approves, the money moves. No invoice chasing, no payment disputes.
Verbal agreements that clients misremember. No paper trail when something goes wrong.
Steadyhand keeps the full record — scope, messages, milestones, signoff, and warranty. Every job generates a document trail that protects both parties.
Dialogue Rating
Every job you complete on Steadyhand adds to your Dialogue Rating — a score built from how clearly you communicate at each stage. Pricing transparency, scope clarity, risk communication, compliance, timeline clarity, and professionalism.
It reflects long-run behaviour across all your jobs, not a single review.
Clients see your rating before they select you. The clearer your communication, the stronger your position.
How it works
From sign-up to payment — no new software to learn, no workflow to abandon.
Add your trade categories, service areas, licence details, and a business bio. Verification is required before you appear in any shortlist.
Clients post requests and the platform matches based on trade, location, and your Dialogue Rating. You receive job notifications and can accept or decline.
Digital scope agreement signed by both parties before work starts. Inclusions, exclusions, milestone plan, and total price — all locked in writing.
Submit each milestone for approval with photo evidence. Once the client approves, funds release automatically to your connected bank account.
Stripe Connect
Steadyhand uses Stripe Connect to release milestone payments directly to your bank account. No invoicing software, no manual transfers. Set it up once and every approved milestone pays out automatically.
