Send a PDF for electronic signature with identity confirmed by email code, consent recorded separately from signing, and a certificate of completion carrying the document hash.
Every step hands identity, history and intent to the next one.
01 / Prepare
Place the fields each person must complete.
Signature and initials are drawn by the signer; date and name are taken from the envelope so they cannot disagree with the evidence. Choose whether people sign together or in order.

02 / Prove
The link alone is not identity.
The document stays closed until a one-time code sent to the recipient address is entered. Agreeing to sign electronically is recorded as its own event, separately from the signature itself.

One finished document, and the record behind it.

The outcome
Agreement is the easy part. Being able to show how it happened is the product.
Start with one real workflow. Keep the control, context and evidence as the work grows.
