Work first. Accounting follows acceptance.
NEOedge, NEOcompute and NEOai exchange six services in each of four rounds. One delivery is disputed; a synthetic Chamber ruling reduces its value before posting. The records retain the outcome and its origin.
A disruption does not become a duplicate payment.
First, the payment simulator becomes unavailable: the claim stays open. Then a payment succeeds but its response is lost. The runner reconstructs the book and reopens the durable payment store. Retrying with the same payment identity recovers the confirmation without paying again.
A member can leave with its contribution respected.
NEOai requests an exit on day 25. The scenario schedules no more work for it and checks outstanding authorizations, claims and debt. Its account is reconciled on day 26. This demonstrates the exit condition; it is not yet an automated membership service.
Bring one shared service workflow. We can show how its records become an agreed community balance—and what remains to be paid.
The next real pilot has a concrete starting point.
Select interested providers, one service and an agreed period. Connect their accepted delivery records, agree the settlement arrangements and compare the result with their present process. The accounting and audit role covers the records supplied by members.
