Common Questions
Q: How long does team formation take?A: Expert matching completes within 1 hour of request submission. Invited experts have 24 hours to respond. Most teams form within 2-3 days. If an expert declines, the platform automatically identifies and invites suitable replacements within 24 hours. Q: How do payments work for team members?
A: Clients fund escrow when the team activates. When clients approve milestones, the platform automatically distributes payments to team members based on predefined contribution percentages within 15 seconds. All transactions include audit trails and support international currency conversion. Q: What happens if a team member can’t complete their work?
A: Team Leads can request member replacement through the platform. The system identifies suitable replacements within 24 hours, includes knowledge transfer protocols, and requires client approval. The transition process maintains project continuity and adjusts payment distributions accordingly. Q: Can I see expert collaboration history before accepting?
A: Yes. When you receive an invitation, you see past collaboration success rates with other team members (70% correlation to future synergy). This helps you make informed decisions about team participation and reputation impact. Q: How do I resolve disputes with team members?
A: Use the integrated dispute resolution workflow. Submit your case with supporting evidence (chat logs, file history). Platform reviews within 48 hours and implements escalation procedures if needed. Projects continue during resolution to minimize delivery impact.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Team formation incomplete after 24 hoursOne or more experts haven’t responded to invitations. Check Team Project Detail for invitation status. The platform automatically identifies backup candidates after the 24-hour window. You can also manually request alternative experts if the suggested matches don’t fit your needs. Issue: Milestone payment distribution failed
Verify all team members have completed payment onboarding through Expert Payout Setup (/expertpayoutsetup). Check transaction history for specific error messages. International payments may require additional verification. Contact support if issues persist beyond 1 hour. Issue: Team Lead not managing tasks effectively
Use project messaging to communicate concerns directly. If coordination problems persist, escalate through the dispute resolution workflow. Platform monitors team communication frequency and triggers risk alerts within 15 seconds when coordination problems emerge, enabling early intervention. Issue: Can’t access team communication tools
Verify your browser supports modern web standards. Clear cache and reload. Check that you’ve accepted the team invitation and the project has activated. File sharing requires stable internet for uploads over 100MB. Video conferencing uses encryption and may require firewall adjustments.
