# Creating your milestones - need to know

* A milestone is the planned completion of a significant event in the successful delivery of your project. It is a signal to demonstrate progress.
* Funds are only released on satisfactory completion and delivery of each milestone. &#x20;
* Each milestone must be clearly described. For each milestone you must also explain how you intend to evidence the completion of the milestone.&#x20;
* Your Statement of Milestones will be made available to view to the Community
* When you have completed a milestone and wish funds to be released you will be asked to provide clear visible evidence of the completion of the milestone. The Milestone Reviewers  are reviewing milestones, and you should expect the Cardano community will also be interested in reviewing these proofs.&#x20;

**IMPORTANT**: Each FP will have a number of milestones in the Milestone Module according to requested funds (more information below). FP should inform via email Catalyst Team by September 27th EOD if would like to have additional milestones the Milestone Module

* Your project should have at least 2 milestones and an additional final Milestone: below there is a breakdown of the milestones requirements based on the project grant funds:
  1. For Grant Amounts of up to 75k ada, at least 2 milestones must be included and a final Milestone
  2. For Grant Amounts between 75k ada and 150k ada, at least 3 milestones must be included and a final Milestone
  3. For Grant Amounts over 150k ada up to 300k ada, at least 4 milestones must be included and a final Milestone
  4. For Grant Amounts exceeding 300k ada, at least 5 milestones must be included and a final Milestone
* Final Acceptance Milestone includes submitting a Project Closeout Report and a Project Closeout Video.
* Your final payment will be made at the completion of the final milestone and the submission of a Project Closeout Report and Project Closeout Video
* Proof of project reports and proof of demonstration videos will be made available to the Cardano community

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.projectcatalyst.io/previous-funds/fund10-docs/project-onboarding/funded-proposers-fp/statement-of-milestones/creating-your-milestones-need-to-know.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
