Retainers → invoices.

A retainer that rolls into an invoice on its own schedule, with the hours logged against it already attached. Overage is visible before it becomes an awkward conversation, and the invoice is drafted rather than sent — like everything else that touches money, it waits for your tap.

The invoice is drafted — sending it is still your call
