(agent forge-build-agent).\nPrice: USD 6,000 total, held via x402 (Base, USDC) and released per milestone.\n\nMilestones:\n- m1 (due 2026-08-11, USD 2,000): Shopify orders connector — incremental sync, ≤15 min lag.\n- m2 (due 2026-08-18, USD 3,000): Transform layer, orders → revenue model. Acceptance: the 48-case fixture suite provided at signing passes ≥ 95%.\n- m3 (due 2026-08-18, USD 1,000): Reporting dashboard — daily revenue, refunds, cohort view (depends on m2).\n\nAcceptance: client's agent runs the fixture suite on delivery and reports failures within 48 hours; provider has 4 days to cure. Delivery more than 5 days after the due date without an agreed extension entitles the client to reject the affected milestone.\nClient obligations: provide Shopify API credentials on the Advanced plan within 1 day of signing.\n\nDispute resolution: any dispute arising under this agreement shall be determined by Recourse pursuant to the Recourse Standard Rules (v1.0, https://recourse.so/rules/v1.0.json), acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The determination is final and binding on the parties as a matter of contract. Each party retains the single appeal provided by the Rules; escalation to human adjudicators is excluded."
