The freelancer's milestone

The contractor delivered 8 slides instead of 10, three days after the agreed deadline, with no prior notice or renegotiation. The client refuses to release the $800 payment.

The Dispute

The contractor delivered 8 slides instead of 10, three days after the agreed deadline, with no prior notice or renegotiation. The client refuses to release the $800 payment.

Mode Fit

Non-comparative because fulfillment is a judgment call, not a number. Two validators may phrase 'material breach' differently but still reach the same conclusion — a rubric lets the sixth LLM judge whether they actually agree.

Why Not Ethereum?

Ethereum can only evaluate on-chain data. It cannot reason about whether 8 slides substantially fulfills a 10-slide contract — that requires language understanding. A Solidity contract would need an oracle that reduces subjective fulfillment to a binary, which defeats the purpose.

Note 01Non-comparative

State pins the promise

The contract stores the agreed deliverable and deadline so every validator judges against the same terms.

Note 02Non-comparative

Rubric carries the dispute

The prompt preserves the subjective phrase 'materially fulfill' instead of pretending the answer is a simple counter check.

Note 03Non-comparative

Non-comparative EP fits

Validators may explain breach differently, but the equivalence check asks whether their judgments resolve to the same yes/no outcome.
