No. Digital Asset Claims is non-custodial. The firm does not take possession of client assets, does not place trades, does not act as a fund administrator and does not move funds on behalf of any party.
No. The firm produces structured documentation only. Investment, tax and legal advice fall outside the permitted activities and are not offered on any page of this site.
Every record passes a independent evidence review. Stage one verifies internal consistency and source coverage; stage two, performed by a named senior reviewer outside the originating team, confirms release readiness. Released records are sealed into the archive; any rework is logged in the rejection register and re-entered into stage one.
Each engagement begins with a written scope letter, a conflicts register check and an independence screen. Records that fail any check are not released externally; the failure is logged in the rejection register with a reason code.
Every released record is sealed into the firm's archive with a numbered release identifier and the two named signatures from the independent evidence review. Counterparties can quote the release identifier in their own files; the firm retains the sealed version unchanged for the full retention period defined in the scope letter.
Reference notes on method and grading map directly onto the phases and services described elsewhere on the site.
Each icon below stands for a defined capability referenced in the firm's method, records, independent evidence review and client-support workflows. The atlas is a single reference view; individual pages surface the subset relevant to their subject.
