Large offshore energy projects depend on contracts that bring together commercial, legal, insurance and operational judgement. A single negotiation can run for weeks, and a project may have many negotiations moving at the same time.
We watched the work move in batches. A negotiation log went out, one side worked while the other waited, and every handover required someone to carry the history with it. The people involved knew their subject. The process made the work harder than it needed to be.
Closing Time grew from watching that pattern repeat. We built it around the negotiation itself, so each point can move with the people responsible for it and the contract is ready for execution when the final point closes.
