Tie money to visible progress
A milestone should reflect work that can be reviewed: a concept, prototype, campaign set or completed handoff. This helps the client see what they are approving and helps the freelancer avoid carrying the entire project risk alone.
Make each stage self-contained
For every milestone, write what is included, the review window and the amount to be released. A strong stage can stand on its own even if the next phase changes after learning from the work.
