Bespea is a governance and evidence platform for bespoke construction, fit-out and joinery projects. It creates a tamper-evident record of scope, delivery, acceptance and payment to reduce disputes.

It is built for clients, studios, specialist subcontractors and fit-out teams working on high-value, custom projects where scope, acceptance and payment often become disputed.

What problems does Bespea address?

The recurring problems are unclear scope, disputed acceptance and payment tension. Bespea reduces those issues by linking each milestone to evidence, approval and the decision trail behind it.

How does the evidence record work?

Each milestone is tied to uploaded evidence, explicit acceptance criteria and a hash-chained record. The output is a Proof Pack and Decision Passport that support later review without rewriting the history.

Is Bespea an escrow service?

No. Bespea is not itself a regulated payment or escrow provider. If a project uses third-party escrow, that arrangement remains separate and may be introduced through an FCA-authorised partner or introducer model.

Is the evidence admissible in court or procurement review?

The platform is designed to create a clear, tamper-evident evidence trail that can support review under the Civil Evidence Act 1995 and help with procurement and project governance work. It is not a legal guarantee or legal advice.

Bespea defined term

Decision Passport

A Decision Passport is Bespea's record of why a project decision was made, binding the decision to the evidence, policy, criteria, actor, and timestamp available at the time.

Honest scope: Decision Passport describes Bespea's evidence-first decision standard. Where live product surfaces are still in pilot or staged rollout, references should be read as the model and record shape, not a promise that every project already has every automated capability.

How it works

Step 1

A milestone or project action is evaluated against the agreed criteria and available evidence.

Step 2

The decision basis is recorded with who acted, what standard applied, what evidence was considered, and when the action happened.

Step 3

The record can then sit inside a Proof Pack so later reviewers can understand the decision without rewriting the project history.

Why it matters in bespoke fit-out and joinery

Bespoke projects need decisions that can be explained after the pressure of the moment has passed.

Clients and studios benefit when approval, rejection, challenge, or release decisions are tied to evidence rather than assertion.

A Decision Passport makes the governance trail inspectable for internal review, advisors, insurers, or procurement stakeholders.

Category ownership

Governed escrow

Governed escrow is Bespea's model for connecting protected project funds to explicit milestones, acceptance criteria, evidence, and a documented challenge window.

Proof Pack

A Proof Pack is Bespea's exportable project record: the evidence, acceptance criteria, challenge history, and decision trail needed to review what happened.

FAQ

What is a Decision Passport in plain English?

It is the record of a project decision: what was decided, which evidence and criteria were used, who made the decision, and when it happened.

Does a Decision Passport make a decision legally final?

No. It creates a clearer evidence trail for review. Legal effect depends on the contract, facts, applicable law, and professional advice.

How does it relate to evidence-first governance?

Evidence-first governance means decisions should be based on agreed criteria and visible records. A Decision Passport is the artifact that explains that basis.
