FreelanXMilestone acceptance certificate
When a client needs a written record of acceptance, for an audit, a public project or an internal approval: decision, reservations and link with payment.

- [Deliverable 1]: conforms / does not conform
- [Deliverable 2]: conforms / does not conform
- [ ] Accepted without reservation.
- [ ] Accepted with minor reservations, to be corrected by [date] without affecting payment: [list].
