The Workflow

Six stages, with a clear decision at each step.

Account registration provides workspace access, not automatic acceptance of a project. Scope, agreement, payment readiness and delivery are separate decisions.

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Register for a free private account, confirm your email and choose optional authenticator protection. Creating an account does not order services or create a payment obligation.

    Client: Confirm your email. You can enable authenticator protection in Studio settings.

    MAQUINE: Keep account access separate from project acceptance.

  2. 02

    Use your private workspace

    Sign in to Studio to start a book or series and choose the edition direction. Source files belong in the authorized private book workspace, never in public forms or ordinary email. MAQUINE reviews rights, scope and capacity before accepting the project.

    Client: Start a book and upload only work you may authorize in its private workspace.

    MAQUINE: Keep each file attached to its authorized book and workspace.

  3. 03

    Verify source words and the service category

    Studio verifies source words and applies the Standard, Editorial, or Specialist category. Specialist work and projects above 90,000 words require review before any proposal.

    Client: Review the verified count and service category.

    MAQUINE: Preserve the USD 0.06, USD 0.08, or USD 0.10 policy.

  4. 04

    Agree the scope and installments

    The public calculator is for planning only. The approved private proposal binds the verified source, exact scope and total, with two 50% installments rounded to cents. An odd cent belongs to the first installment.

    Client: Treat the public result as non-payable planning information.

    MAQUINE: Verify the manuscript, proposal and agreement before payment is available.

  5. 05

    Keep production records distinct

    Milestones, files, agreements, deliverables and private messages stay attached to the correct book or series context in Studio.

    Client: Follow your project's records in the private workspace.

    MAQUINE: Coordinate the agreed production scope and review steps.

  6. 06

    Gate balance and delivery

    The final 50% precedes release of contracted final files. Payment and delivery remain subject to the project's agreement and server-verified readiness in Studio; the public site takes no payment.

    Client: Review the private payment status and contracted delivery.

    MAQUINE: Release only contracted deliverables after separately verified agreement and payment gates.

Release Gates

The workflow refuses to skip the decisions that protect both sides.

These controls apply to the private Studio workflow. The public website provides information and non-confidential inquiry routes, not manuscript intake or payment.

No payable quote before the source words and service category are verified.

No cross-owner access to private projects, messages, agreements, or files.

No Checkout amount accepted unless it matches the server-owned quote and installment kind.

No failed, cancelled, or retried payment attempt becomes an extra obligation.

No final-file release before the balance is verified.

No rights representation or publishing role implied by a Studio project.
