Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to video captioning service.
This is a planning reference for video captioning service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional sample order: caption three supplied English-language training clips, each five minutes long, for a Kenyan sewing workshop. Deliver three UTF-8 SRT files and three review MP4s with visible captions. Include speaker labels when voices cannot otherwise be identified and meaningful non-speech sound cues. Translation, transcript rewriting and burnt-in final masters are separate options. The buyer supplies the final locked video, a terminology list and the authorized reviewer.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0670: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 3 priced units at KSh 1,800.00 each. Buyer group: Creators, trainers and organizations improving accessibility and comprehension. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 3 x KSh 1,800.00 = KSh 5,400.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,300.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,100.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,620.00. The invoice balance is KSh 3,780.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,680.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
