Booking, Matching & Smart Contracts

OPUS is built on an availability-first approach, meaning bookings and matches are based on when someone can work or deliver services.

This section explains how booking works, how AI matching finds the right fit, and how optional smart contracts secure the agreement.

1) Availability-First Booking

• Set your work or service calendar (daily, weekly, or one-off).

• Search by skills, TrustScore, and location.

• Book instantly or send a request.

Example: Paul keeps his calendar open → gets matched with urgent shifts. Simone (hairdresser) opens weekends → clients book instantly.

2) AI Matching

• Matches are based on calendar, skills, TrustScore, location, and price.

• Reduces search time, increases relevant connections.

• Updates dynamically when availability changes.

---

3) Optional Smart Contracts

• Define terms → scope, deadlines, payment.

• Secure funds in escrow before work starts.

• Automatic payout when both parties confirm completion.

Benefits: Security, fairness, transparency, TrustScore boosts.

4) Escrow Payments

• Funds are held until work is approved.

• Protects both client and provider.

• Reduces payment disputes.

5) Linked to TrustScore

• Successful, dispute-free contracts raise your score.

• Cancellations without agreement can lower it.
