Freelancer suffers from unpredictable invoice payment timelines, with some clients paying 60+ days late, causing cash flow uncertainty and risking work stoppage.

Existing invoicing and payment solutions (e.g., Net 30 terms) do not enforce timely payment; freelancers have no leverage to demand upfront payment despite needing predictable cash flow.
