Proof over promises

How milestone verification will work

AgoraVoice has not yet funded any causes. This page shows exactly how it will work when we do: your money is released to a cause one milestone at a time, and each release requires evidence — photos, receipts, sign-off — that you can check yourself.

Where we actually are

Pre-launch. Our first live cause will publish real receipts as they arrive — starting from zero, honestly. Until then, everything below is a walkthrough, not a track record.

The verification pipeline

  1. A cause applies

    An organisation submits its project with a budget broken into concrete milestones — each one a physical, checkable thing.

  2. We vet it

    We check the organisation, the budget and the milestone plan before the cause can appear on AgoraVoice.

  3. You fund a milestone

    Donations pool toward the next milestone only. Money for later stages stays locked.

  4. Evidence comes back

    The organisation submits photos, receipts and sign-offs for the milestone it completed.

  5. We review and verify

    Evidence is reviewed before the milestone is marked verified. Disputed evidence pauses everything.

  6. Funds are released

    Only after verification is the money for that milestone released — and the evidence stays public on the cause page.

Worked example — entirely fictional

Example Village Water Project

by Example Water Alliance (fictional)

This project, its organisation and every number below are invented for illustration. It is not a real cause, and no money has flowed.

Example budget: €15,000 across 4 milestones

  1. Geological survey

    €3,000

    Released

    Evidence: Survey report + receipts (example)

    Evidence verified, funds released — this is what a completed step will look like.

  2. Drilling & casing

    €7,000

    Verified

    Evidence: Photos + engineer sign-off (example)

    Evidence accepted; release is the explicit next step.

  3. Pump installation

    €3,500

    Evidence submitted

    Evidence: Awaiting review (example)

    The organisation has submitted evidence; nothing moves until it's reviewed.

  4. Water quality certification

    €1,500

    Pending

    Not yet funded — money for this stage stays locked.
