- Financial: one operating case, corrected valuation formulas, fixed-cost budget and grant-free funding bridge are approved.
- Rights and control: issuer, beneficial owner, IP chain, cash recipient and investor recourse are documented.
- Token mechanics: authoritative vesting, circulation, burn-floor, staking and transfer controls are supplied.
- Specialists: qualified counsel, technical and financial specialists address questions outside this scoped review.
