Contract Obligation & Milestone Tracker

Pull the promises buried inside your contracts - deliverable due dates, SLAs, reporting requirements, price-review dates - into one tracked, reminded, owner-accountable list so nothing slips and both sides are held to what they signed.

What you'll build

A private tool where every contract's obligations live in one place with owners and due dates, reminders fire ahead of each one, the contract owner confirms each as met with evidence (or flags a breach), and a dashboard plus breach log keeps everyone honest.

Before you start

  • A free Supabase account
  • A free Vercel account
  • A free Resend account (for reminder & alert email)
  • Your contracts (or a list of their obligations) handy - even just in a spreadsheet

The problem this kills

You sign the contract, file the PDF, and move on. Months later the supplier quietly skips a quarterly business review, misses an SLA, never sends the monthly report you're owed - or a price-review date passes and you lose your window to renegotiate. None of it is anyone's job to watch, because the commitments are buried on page 14 of a document nobody reopens.

The promises inside a contract don't enforce themselves. A passed due date doesn't mean the obligation was met - it just means time went by. Without something actively tracking each obligation, assigning it an owner, and reminding that owner before it's due, contracts become honor-system arrangements where the side paying attention wins.

This tool drags every obligation out of the contract and into the open: who owes what, by when, and proof it actually happened.

What you'll build

A private web app for your contracts team where you:

  • Capture obligations per contract - description, owner, due date or recurring schedule, and type (deliverable, SLA, report, or price/contract review).
  • See everything in a calendar and list view - filtered by owner, contract, or due window, so the next 30 days are never a surprise.
  • Get reminders ahead of each obligation by email, to the owner, before the date - not after.
  • Confirm "met" with evidence - the obligation owner marks it complete and attaches proof (the report, the signed acceptance, the meeting notes). Nothing closes just because its date passed.
  • Flag and log breaches - when an obligation is missed or service falls short, it goes into a breach log you can hand to the supplier or feed into their scorecard.
  • Handle recurring obligations - monthly reports and quarterly reviews automatically create dated instances so each occurrence is tracked on its own.
  • Export a clean CSV of obligations and breaches for reporting, audits, or your contract management system.

What's inside the Implementation Plan

A complete, paste-and-go runbook written for a non-coder. It opens by interviewing you about your business - your contract types, how you name and number contracts, who owns obligations, your SLA and review conventions, your volumes, and your messy edge cases - then tailors the whole tool to your answers instead of dropping a generic template on you. You confirm a short spec before a single thing gets built.

From there it walks you, one copy-paste prompt at a time, through:

  • Standing up the app, database, and login.
  • The obligation data model shaped to your contract and SLA conventions.
  • Capture screens, the calendar + list views, and recurring-obligation instances.
  • Email reminders, the met-with-evidence confirmation flow, and the breach log.
  • The status dashboard, supplier-scorecard link, and CSV export - plus a no-API fallback so you can build it today from a spreadsheet.

The governance it includes (this is the point)

This isn't a toy. The plan builds in the controls a contracts function actually needs:

  • Login so only your team can open the tool.
  • Row-level security so people only ever see their own organization's contracts and obligations.
  • A complete audit trail - who created, edited, confirmed, or breached each obligation, and exactly when.
  • A human-in-the-loop gate - an obligation is only ever marked met when the owner reviews it and attaches evidence; a passed date never auto-closes anything.
  • Duplicate guards - keyed on contract + obligation + occurrence date, so the same obligation (including each recurrence) can't be logged or closed twice.

Who it's for

Contract owners and category managers who sign agreements and then - through no fault of their own - lose track of the commitments inside them. If you manage suppliers, SLAs, deliverables, or pricing agreements and you've ever discovered a missed obligation months too late, this is for you. No coding background needed.

You've got this - paste the first prompt and let the agent interview you.
