Filenod
How we work

The portal
is the project.

Filenod runs every engagement from one dashboard. You see exactly what we see — status, quote, assignee, messages, files, deliverables. No email threads, no spreadsheets, no surprises.

You file a brief

From the marketing site you click Start a project, sign in (free, or with Google), and walk through a 4-step intake wizard: service line → details → budget+timeline → review. Average time: 5 minutes. Filenod gets pinged within seconds.

We scope and quote

An admin reviews the brief in /admin/projects, asks any clarifying questions in the shared message thread, sets a quote, and assigns a senior teammate. You see the quote and proposed lead the moment it lands. Status changes from Intake → Scoping → Quoted in your view.

Live pipeline view, both sides

Filenod's team works the kanban board across seven stages. You don't see the kanban (other clients are on it), but the status cards on your project page mirror exactly where it sits. No status meetings — the dashboard is the status meeting.

Transparent conversation

Every message between you and Filenod's team lives in one thread on the project page. Internal notes (engineering coordination) are tagged Internal and only admins see them. Files, links, references — all attached in one place.

Delivery, then operate

On delivery you get the production system + a runbook + 30 days of post-launch coverage. From there, optional retainer for ongoing changes, infra, on-call. Same engineers stay on the account.

Why this works

Transparency forces discipline.

When the client sees every status change and every internal decision, you stop running engagements like an inbox. The portal is what makes our weekly demos and on-time delivery actually ship — not the willpower of a project manager.
