Bill from the signed contract sum
The breakdown you bill from and the sum you signed are the same object, with no re-keyed workbook that drifts.
PayBalanced
Schedule of Values: turn your contract sum into billable lines
Break your prime contract sum into the line items you bill against, optionally seeded from the estimate. Freeze the baseline, and every pay application runs against a locked, agreed figure.

The $4,850,000.00 prime-contract sum broken into the billable schedule-of-values lines the client is claimed against, each mapped to cost codes and seeded from the won estimate. Lines total equals the contract sum to the cent, and the baseline is frozen — every pay application bills against these locked lines, period by period.

The figure you bill against should be the figure you signed
Seed from the estimate
Snapshot the schedule from your estimate as a point-in-time copy, so later estimate changes don't move your contract sum.
Freeze the baseline
Lock the contract sum through a deliberate ceremony, so every claim is measured against an agreed figure.
How it works
The whole SOV, before you claim
Break down the contract sum, adjust the lines, then freeze the baseline you bill against.

Set up downstream billing
The SOV is the sell-side foundation your pay applications draw on from day one.
Connected to the whole job
The SOV, the sell-side of your budget
Where the budget breaks down what the job costs you, the SOV breaks down what you bill the client, and both can be seeded from the same won estimate. Once the SOV baseline is frozen, it becomes the agreed figure your pay applications bill against, completing the Win-to-Pay line from first price to every claim you raise.

Frequently asked questions
No. You can opt in to seed the Schedule of Values from your estimate, carrying line items and values across, or build it directly if you prefer.
No. Seeding takes a deterministic point-in-time snapshot of the estimate. Later estimate changes don't move your SOV, so the contract sum stays the figure you agreed.
It locks the contract sum at the agreed figure. After the baseline ceremony the sum is fixed, and every claim is measured against that locked value.
Values are held tax-exclusive and to the cent, with sales tax resolved at the boundary, so your billable line items stay clean and precise.
