UPDATECUE GUIDE
How to document customer approval before work begins
A useful record makes the request, answer, person, method, and time easy to reconstruct later.
Loose message
“Looks good.”
No defined request, reference, method, or clear next step.
Documented response

Named request, responder, exact timestamp, method, and permanent reference.

Make the request specific
Name exactly what is being authorized, what it costs, and what approval allows the business to do next.
Keep the outcome retrievable
Retain the responder name, method, timestamp, reference, print view, and PDF export.
Use the right legal process
UpdateCue creates a practical record. It does not independently verify legal identity or replace a required contract, signature, disclosure, or regulated process.
Get the answer. Keep the proof.
