Proposal to acceptance
Test scope, price, contract, deposit, and the project created from the commercial promise.
Compare the connection between features, not only the number of them.
Plutio combines proposals, contracts, projects, time, invoicing, client portals, scheduling, files, communication, and automation. Alternatives should be tested for how records move across that lifecycle.
Project to evidence
Compare tasks, time, files, conversations, approvals, client access, and milestones.
Work to payment
Review invoice creation, recurring billing, reminders, payment state, and relationship history.
Run one engagement through every connected module.

Include deliverables, options, commercial terms, dependencies, and a project structure.
