The deal pipeline

A deal moves through Inquiry → Negotiating → Signed → Filming → Posted → Invoiced → Paid, plus a separate Lost outcome sitting outside that line. These are the stages of getting paid, not of making content, which is why “Invoiced” is a column and “Editing” isn’t.

Use the Board to drag cards or tap “Move to…” on mobile. The List has sortable columns and filters, including one for Lost. If a stage needs a missing date or amount, such as an invoice due date or paid date, knit.bio asks you to add it before moving the deal.

The Requests tab auto-populates from two sources: brand DMs your Money Inbox already sorted, and Media Kit booking requests. Opening the tab imports anything new into Inquiry automatically; nothing is pre-advanced past Inquiry just because a DM was already replied to.

“Needs you today” ranks what to act on next: money already earned outranks money not yet earned, so a payment that’s overdue always beats a shoot date coming up. A healthy pipeline shows nothing here at all.

Totals stay separate by currency. A creator paid in ₹ and $ sees two pipelines instead of one misleading total. An unstated deal amount stays blank instead of showing as 0.
