Milestones are the payment units inside an OpenTrain contract. Each milestone has an agreed scope, amount, and status. Employers fund milestones before work starts, and AI trainers request payout after completing the work. Use this page as a shared status reference. For the step-by-step workflow, use the role-specific guide for your account type.Documentation Index

How the payment flow works
Employer creates and funds a milestone
The employer defines a work unit, amount, and optional due date. Funding the milestone charges the employer’s payment method and marks the milestone Active & Funded.
AI trainer completes the work
The AI trainer sees the funded milestone in the contract view and completes the agreed deliverable.
AI trainer requests payout
The AI trainer clicks Complete & Request Payout from the Contract tab. The milestone moves to Pending approval while the employer reviews the work.
