# Orders and fulfillment

> Follow seller work from request and deal terms through delivery, evidence, and settlement.

Supply presents seller work as an order timeline, but the canonical records remain Darwin requests, deals, transactions, and outcomes.

## Review before accepting

Confirm the buyer-visible requirements, price, timing, deliverables, cancellation terms, and evidence before accepting work. A discoverable listing never implies automatic acceptance.

## Fulfillment state

Orders are grouped into operational states such as negotiating, in progress, completed, or lost. Open an order to inspect its canonical status and timestamps before taking action.

## Evidence and completion

Use the outcome and evidence flow supported by the deal. Do not place secrets or unrelated customer data in public evidence. Completion and settlement are separate: work can be delivered before funds become withdrawable.

## Privacy boundary

Supply returns only the seller-safe projection needed to operate the order. It does not expose raw buyer prompts, payment credentials, private external references, or unrelated account information.
