Delivery & claims playbook

Evidence follows the work.

A delivery playbook for the middle of the project: scope, knowledge, records, acceptance, realised benefit and a claim packet the applicant can reconcile.

The operating loop

  1. 01
    Before submissionApplicant, scope, route and quote
  2. 02
    After agreed startConfigure, test, train and pilot
  3. 03
    At acceptanceReconcile actual deliverables and benefit
  4. 04
    At claimInvoice, full payment and applicant submission
Recommended decision

One evidence trail should connect the client’s problem, deployed record and paid invoice.

Resolve the funding boundary before delivery

CheckEvidenceConsequence
ApplicantExact legal entity/UEN, ultimate ownership, SME group size, location and funding capacityBusiness name alone does not prove eligibility.
Prior activityExisting implementation, deposits, contracts, prior supported solutionDo not retrospectively claim an already-started project.
Vendor routeExact approved package or evidenced other-vendor ERP gapA preferred supplier is insufficient justification.
QuoteSoftware entitlement, implementation, training, usage, maintenance, GST and exclusionsDo not rename labour/maintenance as software.
IndependenceDeclared relationships and verified activity restrictionsCyberG7 cannot invoice itself or submit on the SME’s behalf.
TimingSubmission record, award/project dates, client risk decisionAfter submission before approval is at applicant risk; this plan waits for approval unless explicitly chosen otherwise.

The evidence chain

RequirementNamed business need
Award / scopeApproved line and period
DeploymentTenant / entitlement ID
AcceptanceUAT and owner sign-off
ExpenseInvoice and full payment
Evidence objectMinimum traceWhy it helps
Conversation / requestTenant, source version, request ID, policy and handover stateExplains what the bot did and whether a person could act.
TransactionCustomer → quote → order → job/completion → invoice IDsProves connected operating functions, not screenshots of unrelated apps.
AcceptanceScenario, observed result, approver, date and remediationKeeps proposed targets distinct from achieved outcomes.
BenefitBaseline cohort, new labour, rework, volume and realisation basisSupports honest projections and subsequent business impact.
Commercial documentQuote line → award line → invoice → payment/referenceAllows supportable and excluded costs to be reconciled.
Change recordRequest, approved final values, actor and receiptPrevents a changed action from inheriting a stale approval.

Use IDs and aggregated evidence where possible; do not place customer conversations, identity documents or personal details in a public demonstration. Capture evidence during delivery instead of reconstructing it at claim time.

Acceptance has three separate signatures

Sign-offQuestionRequired result
TechnicalDoes the configured system follow the agreed boundaries?Critical scenarios, tenant/role tests, retries, rollback and exports pass.
OperationalCan staff complete the workflow without reconstruction?Real representative transactions, queue ownership and training competence.
Commercial / financialIs the ongoing service worth paying for?Net labour, realisation, all-in cost and renewal scenario accepted.

Funding compliance is an additional reconciliation, not a substitute for any of those signatures. A commercially useful self-funded project can be ineligible for a grant; a formally complete grant project can still be a poor investment.

Prepare one final claim

  • SME confirms every awarded deliverable is complete and all project expenses are paid in full; preserve applicant payment evidence.
  • Retain unique deployment identifiers, deployed-system evidence, invoice lines, dates, UAT and applicable training/impact reports.
  • For ERP, follow the exact activity and Letter of Offer. Do not assume a vendor/scope change can be handled as a routine date extension.
  • For large-scale transformation, arrange the required panel auditor. Its activity page requires a signed engagement before the claim and submission within 14 working days of signing; schedule from a ready packet.
  • Applicant’s authorised personnel submit and respond to requests. Vendor/third party cannot apply or manage the grant on their behalf.
  • Claim opening dates are November 1 for single-function/ERP/pre-scoped equipment, December 1 for other activities. Payment comes after assessment/approval, not on the opening date.
