The collaboration playbook

Good records make
better relationships.

Keep the important parts of your project on Pairly. Clear scope, visible decisions and documented delivery prevent misunderstandings—and make fair review possible.

01

Define “done” before hiring

Write the deliverables, formats, deadline, included review rounds and acceptance criteria. Ambiguity at the start becomes conflict at the end.

02

Keep key context together

Use Pairly for project communication. If you have a call, post a short written recap and ask the other party to confirm it.

03

Confirm scope changes first

Before doing extra work, agree how the request affects deliverables, price and timing. A friendly request can still be a real scope change.

04

Submit and review visibly

Deliver through the project record. Give specific feedback against the agreed criteria—not shifting preferences or unwritten expectations.

05

Raise concerns early

Describe the problem factually, point to the relevant agreement and propose a reasonable remedy. Report threatening or unsafe conduct immediately.
