# IMO Process & Stages

1. **Project Selection & Milestone Definition**\
   Projects define a milestone roadmap that is reviewed against Seedify’s Milestone Guidelines and approved through community voting before fundraising begins.<br>
2. **Fundraising & Escrow**\
   Non-TGE Funds and tokens are locked in a 3rd party escrow with multisig protections. Only the portion tied to a completed milestone can be released.<br>
3. **Milestone Delivery & Evidence Submission**\
   When a milestone deadline arrives, the project submits verifiable evidence of completion.<br>
4. **AI-Assisted Oracle Verification**\
   AI-powered oracles evaluate submitted evidence against pre-approved milestone conditions.\
   \
   These oracles do not make final decisions, they provide structured, verifiable analysis.<br>
5. **Seedify Review & Transparency Layer**\
   Seedify reviews oracle findings, adds contextual analysis, and publishes a transparent report for the community.<br>
6. **Community Decision**\
   Community voters make the final decision to:\
   \- Release milestone funds and vest tokens\
   \- Deny the milestone and refund remaining funds\
   \- Approve partial releases or changes when justified<br>
7. **Repeat Until Completion**\
   This process repeats for every milestone until all milestones are completed or the project is terminated.<br>
