✓ Advance ≤30% — safe scheme

Safe scheme: advance ≤30% (better 10–20%), payment per completed stage after signing the act, final 5–10% — after final acceptance. Unsafe: >50% advance, 'month upfront' payments, cash without receipts. Materials as a separate line: contractor buys against receipts, or you pay the supplier directly.
