Why the workflow works
Nothing advances on assumption
One required proof
Documents and inspections satisfy explicit conditions, not vague expectations.
One shared record
Both sides can reconstruct what changed, who approved it and why funds moved.
Questions buyers ask first
The short answers
Does Dealium hold the deposit or settlement funds?
No. Custody is switched off on the current pilot, so there is no deposit or release path: the parties pay each other directly and record the evidence in the deal. Dealium does not take custody.
Does every counterparty need a paid account?
No. The organization that opens the deal holds the plan; invited counterparties join the transaction free.
What happens when the terms change?
A new version is created and the relevant parties must accept it again before the deal can advance.
Can AI approve a payment or change the deal?
No. The copilot may flag risks and suggest actions, but authorized people approve commercial and payment actions.
The last mile is the hard mile
Milestones become
evidence, not messages.
Loading, inspection, documents and delivery all land on the same record — so the next responsible party is never a guess, and the proof is already attached when it matters.
