For creative agencies

One approver. One timeline. No approval chaos.

Agency projects involve producers, designers, and client stakeholders. Zlaip keeps feedback visible while binding sign-off to a designated approver — with revision limits, scope drift routing, and payment release after Approval Lock.

Designated approver for multi-stakeholder clients

Client committees create conflicting feedback. Zlaip lets collaborators comment and review, but only the Designated Approver can create Approval Lock on a milestone.

That keeps internal agency delivery flexible while preventing “looks good from marketing” from binding payment before the real decision-maker signs off.

  • Invite client collaborators without approval authority
  • Consolidate feedback through one approver
  • Immutable Approval Lock records version and timestamp

Creative team delivery without losing accountability

Producers and leads stay in Accountability Chat alongside system cards for submissions, revision usage, scope drift, and change orders.

Review Workspace supports video, PDF, website staging, and Figma embeds so each discipline reviews in one place tied to the agreement.

Scope expansion routed before margin erodes

Agency retainers and fixed-fee SOWs both suffer when “small asks” accumulate. Scope Drift cards surface out-of-scope feedback with Ignore or Create Change Order before more rounds ship unpaid.

Milestone payment after explicit approval

Invoice or release escrow only after Approval Lock. Payment Release Gate prevents billing for work the client has not formally accepted under locked terms.

FAQ

Common questions

Can multiple client stakeholders comment?
Yes. Client collaborators can review and comment. Only the designated approver binds Approval Lock and unlocks payment gates.

No. Zlaip is workflow accountability for client-facing milestones: locked terms, review, approvals, change orders, and payment readiness.
Does Zlaip replace Frame.io or Figma?
No. Keep your creative surfaces. Zlaip ingests feedback and enforces contractual revision boundaries and approval records.
