Escrow with milestone release for digital services?

[lylybr]

Hi everyone, I’m planning to hire a service provider here for a multi-stage digital project (design + development + maintenance). I’m wondering if any escrow services on Bitcointalk support milestone-based payment releases instead of a single full release at the end. For example, releasing partial funds after each completed stage while still keeping security for both buyer and seller. If yes, which trusted escrow providers currently offer this, and how do they usually structure dispute handling between milestones?

I don't think there's going to be any issues with the partial release of funds upon completion of each of the stages.

It'd be better if you ask these questions from the escrow providers themselves ^{[especially for the latter part]}: Few Trusted Escrow Providers
^{- FWIW, I prefer not to handle it due to the extent of issues that might arise in the development stage (I had a very bad experience in the past), but I'm sure you'll find someone from the above list.}

I don't think any of BTT escrow members will have a problem with milestone-based payment. The problem always lies in the terms of escrow; if they are clear to both you and the developer, there shouldn't be a problem.

@lylybr You just need clear wording that all parties agree on.
