The escalation (eventually) is to have a lawyer send a "FU, pay me" letter.
edit: as you've said elsewhere - the goal of this isn't to take them to court, it's so whoever is waiting for whatever to cut the check can go to their boss and say "look, we really need to pay this now".

Yeah I don't understand that at all:
You don't need your contract to say "we'll escalate if you breach contract", that's already how contracts work. What are they waiting for?
The escalation without specific terms is to terminate the contract — which has already ended.

Why do you believe that? That is so wild to me.
