Solution · Delivery
Hear about the slip before the client does
You run client work across a dozen projects and a few retainers. Each lives in its own board, so the only way to know what is late is to open every one. By then the client has usually noticed first.
Work slips at the edges, not in the middle
The task nobody touched for a week. The project that is three tasks from done and quiet. The retainer cycle that closes tomorrow with work still open. None of it is hidden. It is spread across boards, and nobody's job is to read all of them. dpaperwork reads all of them, every day, and puts the one about to slip at the top.
It does the legwork. You make the call.
Nothing reaches a client without your yes, and every draft shows what it changed.

One list, sorted by what needs you first
Delivery merges every in-flight project, retainer cycle and task across every client into a single worklist. Work in its final stretch, or not yet started, floats to the top. Internal work with no client sits in its own section instead of disappearing.
Sorted by urgency
The late and the untouched come first, the way a program manager would triage them.
Dependencies visible
Mark a task as blocking or blocked, and the chain shows before it causes a slip.
Retainers renew themselves
A new cycle generates each billing period from a task template, plus anything left over.
Same week, different ending
You open six boards on Friday to find out what is late.
One list. The late one is first, with the client attached.
A retainer cycle ends and the next one is set up from memory.
The next cycle is drafted from the template, with open tasks carried over.
Overload shows up as a missed deadline.
A heavy task load is flagged while you can still move work.
