# Milestone Change Requests

The IMO framework supports two types of change requests to handle real-world complexity:

#### Pre-Submission Milestone Change Requests

Requests made before milestone evidence submission deadline.

**Supported Cases:**

1. **Pivot** - Strategic direction change
2. **Milestone Delay (Single)** - Delay one specific milestone
3. **Milestone Delay (All Remaining)** - Delay all future milestones
4. **Early Release (Single)** - Request early release for one milestone
5. **Early Release (Multiple)** - Request early release for multiple milestones
6. **Partial Release** - Request partial fund release for a milestone

**Process:**

**For Cases 1, 2, 3, 6:**

1. Project submits justification according to Milestone Guidance Criteria
2. Seedify (or Council) reviews the case (7 days)
3. Community votes on DeXe (7 days)
4. **If Approved:**
   * Cases 1, 2, 3: Milestone conditions are modified
   * Case 6: Next milestone becomes partial, remainder distributed proportionally to other milestones
5. **If Denied:** Original milestone roadmap stands

**For Cases 4, 5 (Early Release):**

1. Project submits justification
2. Community votes on DeXe (7 days)
3. **If Approved:** Funds and tokens released early
4. **If Denied:** Original milestone schedule stands

#### Post-Voting Milestone Change Requests

Requests made after Community voting has concluded.

**Supported Cases:**

1. **Dispute** - Challenge to Oracle, Seedify, or Community verdict
2. **Partial Release** - Request partial payment post-decision

**Process:**

1. Project or stakeholder initiates dispute/request
2. AI assists in initial dispute evaluation
3. Seedify reviews and submits report to Community (7 days)
4. Community votes on DeXe (7 days)
5. **If Approved:**
   * Case 1 (Dispute): Milestone funds and tokens released, original roadmap continues
   * Case 2 (Partial Release): Current milestone becomes partial, remainder distributed proportionally
6. **If Denied:** Original Community vote stands
