Accountability Chat

One timeline per client project: your messages plus system cards for deliverables, revision usage, drift warnings, change orders, approvals, and payment events.

What is Accountability Chat?

Accountability Chat is the native per-agreement conversation in Zlaip. Human messages coexist with system event cards that are projections of domain events, never hand-authored by users.

It is the primary collaboration surface for workflow accountability, not a general team channel.

Reactions are not approvals

Emoji reactions and quick replies do not create Approval Lock. Explicit human confirmation is required for binding sign-off.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we still use Slack or email?
Yes for quick coordination. Run locked terms, approvals, and payment state in Accountability Chat per agreement.
Are system cards editable?
No. Users react or reply to them, but cannot edit or delete workflow event cards.
