1. Restate The Approved First Step
The deposit should clearly map to the exact first paid step that got internal agreement, not to a vague future program.
Open Partner Intro Approval Pack Open Partner Intro ScopeWarm intro deposit page
Once the internal yes is close, use the deposit to lock the current window before the warm thread cools.
This page is for the stage after a warm-intro deal is mostly approved internally and the remaining job is commitment timing. The deposit should not feel like a new negotiation. It should feel like the clean commercial move that locks the approved first step into a real start window.
- 1 approved first step
- 1 current slot protected
- 1 fast route to tx hash
Deposit Lock Map
Use one sequence from internal approval to a committed start window.
2. Tie Payment To The Current Window
Connect the deposit to the current build slot so timing has a commercial meaning instead of remaining a loose intention.
Open Deposit Lock3. Name The Exact Payer
If the founder approved but ops or finance sends funds, make that explicit before the thread diffuses again.
Open Partner Intro Approval To Payment4. Remove Wallet Friction Fast
If the only hesitation is network or wallet confidence, route the payer to one short payment guide instead of ad hoc explanations.
Open Partner Intro Payment Guide5. Collect The Hash And Activate
Once the deposit lands, the next step is transfer proof, then activation and handoff while the thread is still warm.
Open Payment Page Open Partner Intro ActivationBest Use Cases
Use this page when the deal is warm, approved enough, and mostly waiting on commitment timing.
Internal Yes, Soft Timing
The buyer side is directionally aligned, but nobody has attached the first step to an actual start window yet.
Approved Scope, No Deposit Yet
The first step is clear, but the deal is drifting because the commercial commitment never got compressed.
Warm Thread, Limited Attention
Warm-intro momentum fades quickly. Deposit lock is useful when the goal is to turn current heat into a real start.
Single Payer Still Needs Routing
If there is a known payer but the path is not yet operational, this page keeps the move simple enough to execute.
Short Commit Lines
Use direct lines that connect the deposit to timing, not pressure.
Slot Line
Since the first step is already aligned, the deposit is mainly what locks the current window instead of letting it drift.
Scope Line
The deposit is tied to the narrow first step already discussed, not to a wider undefined engagement.
Payer Line
If someone specific is sending funds, I can route the cleanest payment path directly to them and keep this moving.
Move Line
Once the deposit lands, the next step is tx confirmation and a clean start path, not another round of explanation.
Do Not Do This
Most deposit-lock attempts fail because they use timing without enough commercial clarity.
Do Not Use It Before Scope Is Clear
If the first step is still fuzzy, tightening the scope matters more than talking about commitment timing.
Do Not Skip Payer Routing
A deal can feel approved and still stall if nobody knows who actually sends the transfer.
Do Not Reopen The Whole Pitch
Deposit lock should sound like an execution step, not a replay of trust, fit, and proof from the start of the thread.
Do Not Force Artificial Urgency
Real urgency comes from delivery bandwidth and timing, not fake countdown language.
Do Not Keep Timing Detached From Payment
The point is to connect current timing to the actual transfer, not just mention urgency in abstract terms.
Best Next Routes
Route to the page that removes the last blocker fastest.
Need Internal Decision First
If internal approval is still vague, do not jump to commitment timing yet. Surface the blocker first.

If the decision-maker still needs the scope summarized cleanly, resend the compact approval pack before asking for the deposit.

If approval is real but payment ownership is still fuzzy, route to intro approval-to-payment before pushing the deposit.

If the payer is ready in principle but cautious about the wallet path, use the payment guide next.

If the payer says funds were sent and the next move is checking the tx hash plus attaching proof to the deal, route here next.

If the deposit ask already went out and the only problem is a pending transfer, switch to payment follow-up.

If the first step is approved, the payer is known, and timing matters, move directly into the same payment route now.

Preferred route: approved first step, deposit sent, tx hash shared.
Use the same wallet-backed route. Once the deposit lands, collect the hash and move the warm intro into activation while the thread still has commercial momentum.
