# What a client provides and receives

What a client is designed to provide when it is set up on Pathfinder, and what it is designed to receive.

> **Status: planned.** Pathfinder is at design and specification stage. Nothing is live yet.

## At a glance

- A client is set up as configuration, not custom code.
- The client provides its invoices and the facts that describe its programme.
- The client is designed to receive results, missing invoices and exceptions.

## What a client provides

- The invoices it receives from its waste and recycling vendors.
- Its list of properties.
- The services expected at each property.
- The way its invoices will arrive.
- The scope of its reports.

## What a client receives

- The results of extraction and validation, reported back.
- A list of missing invoices, from the comparison with expected services.
- Exceptions, each with an owner and a reason.

## What this does not cover

Prices, terms, timelines and how client users reach their reports are not published. This page does not offer a service, because nothing is live yet.
