# The Difference Between a Gig and a Bid

Gig: When you set up gigs, your team knows that once a milestone is completed, they will receive payment directly to their Sync wallet. This means you need to have full funds available for a milestone before you assign it to a team member.

Bid: When you set up bids, your team knows that they can negotiate the time they get paid. This means you can assign milestones without having funds available.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://spurt.gitbook.io/sync-user-guide/project-management/the-difference-between-a-gig-and-a-bid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
