A single agreement between two parties, followed from signature through to portable delivery reputation. Every engine plays its part. Nothing happens off-screen.
Acme Works Ltd. (Principal, buyer) and Acme Supply Co. (Contractor, supplier) have signed a supply and services agreement for a capital equipment package with installation, commissioning, and warranty.
Same two parties, same agreement, seven engines, one continuous story you can drop into at any point. Skip to the interactive wizard →
The first job of any contract execution system is to read the document and turn it into something a machine can enforce. Nebula reads the agreement end to end and produces the full register: every obligation each party carries and every right each party can claim, with clause references, deadlines, responsible parties, and consequences of breach. Both sides see the same register, pulled from the same source. Nothing gets missed in an appendix nobody opened.
Extraction gives you a draft. Acceptance turns the draft into something binding. Nebula presents the register to both parties. Either side can propose adjustments, raise concerns, or push back on a clause before anything is locked. When both sides have mutually agreed, the register becomes the single shared source of truth, timestamped and binding. Neither side can later claim a different version of what was agreed. This is the step every other contract system skips, and it is why every other system ends up with two parties arguing over what the agreement said.

Once the register is locked, Nebula generates self-executing rules from it and runs them continuously. When an obligation slips its deadline, the consequence fires automatically, without a human in the loop. When a delivery condition is met, the dependent right becomes exercisable on the spot. Everything runs as agreed. The system does the admin. The humans do the work.

Not every delay is a breach. Sometimes a dependency fails. Sometimes the other side asks for a change. Sometimes the scope evolves because the work itself reveals something nobody anticipated at signing. Nebula's Adapt engine handles these without turning them into disputes. When both parties mutually acknowledge a genuine reason for adjustment, the register updates, the compliance window shifts, and the affected party's right to claim additional time is preserved. Anti-gaming checks sit over the top: Nebula detects collusion between parties, backdating of acknowledgements, reciprocal rubber-stamping, and sudden changes in patterns that do not match the agreement's history. Flexibility is real, but it cannot be abused.
Every transition in the register, from extraction through acceptance through enforcement through adaptation, is recorded the moment it happens and cryptographically anchored. Neither party can alter the record. Months or years later, what both parties see is provably the same record that existed at the time. Disputes that used to take months of lawyers reconstructing a timeline from email archives now begin with a single query to the Proof Ledger, and end there. The Tranche 1 shipment, the operator training package, the design approval from Acme Works, the site installation milestone: every one of them has a full state history anchored and queryable. A reader who wants to know what happened six months ago, who did what, and when, does not need to ask anyone. They ask the ledger.

A running score, built from the verified record of how a party has honoured its obligations and respected the counterparty's rights across real agreements. The score follows the party from one agreement to the next. Like a credit file, but for whether you keep the agreements you sign. A buyer preparing to sign a new agreement with Acme Supply can query Acme Supply's record across every previous agreement in seconds. No phone calls. No reference checks that depend on who picks up. Just verified data that both sides already agreed was accurate at the time it was recorded.
And Acme Works is scored too. The same system that records whether Acme Supply delivered on time also records whether Acme Works issued acceptance certificates on time, approved documents on time, and made payments on time. Reputation runs both ways. A supplier picking between two buyers can look up both buyers' records before they sign. The stronger buyer wins the better supplier. The weaker buyer learns why.

Certify is the formal rating a party holds in Nebula, earned from their verified record across every agreement the platform has seen. It is the answer, on-platform, to the question every counterparty asks before signing: have they delivered in the past. The rating stands on its own. Its use in procurement, insurance, and lending is what it enables downstream, not what it is.
Three tiers exist. Delivery is the entry tier, earned by a clean record across a first cohort of agreements. Excellence is the working tier, earned by consistent delivery across multiple agreements and multiple counterparties. Partner is the top tier, earned by a track record across many agreements with zero unresolved disputes. Every tier is verifiable by any counterparty against the Proof Ledger. No tier can be self-declared. None of them mean anything without the underlying record.
