Verification Process Playbook

The eight-step diligence pipeline ensures only credible utility assets surface to investors. Keep this guide synchronized with the public messaging in README.md, web/src/components/verification-process.tsx, and mobile apps.

1. Signal Intake & Normalisation

• Integrate Solana RPC providers (Helius, QuickNode) plus Messari, Crunchbase, and regulatory RSS feeds.

• Normalise payloads to the shared schema: assetId, missionSummary, riskSignals, teamProfiles, treasurySnapshots.

• Timestamp every snapshot for future traceability.

2. Automated Risk Screening

• Run heuristics for token distribution, liquidity depth, treasury transparency, founder history, and enforcement actions.

• Flag assets breaching thresholds (e.g., treasury concentration >60%, anonymous team, illiquid pools).

• Attach contextual notes before routing to analysts.

3. Mission Validation Prep

• Produce a one-page mission brief covering problem, product linkage, and measurable outcomes.

• Map each claim to on-chain evidence (wallet growth, transaction types) or trusted off-chain sources (press, customer logos).

4. Expert Review Cycle

• Assign two analysts with relevant domain expertise.

• Score mission clarity, real-world utility, governance maturity, and regulatory posture on a 1–5 scale.

• Reconcile score deltas ≥2 in a 30-minute sync; log rationale in the audit system.

5. Founder & Partner Verification

• Confirm founder identities via LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and previous ventures.

• Secure at least one partner/customer confirmation and capture references.

• Document outstanding gaps as follow-up tasks before approval.

• Offer an optional Persona KYC session; a successful check unlocks the public “doxxed” green flag for the project profile.

6. On-Chain Performance Deep Dive

• Analyse 90-day token velocity, active wallet growth, and treasury diversification using SQL dashboards.

• Stress-test liquidity (e.g., simulate 5% sell-down, flag slippage >10%).

• Evaluate utility usage (compute jobs, energy credits, etc.) against mission KPIs.

7. Transparency Pack Assembly

• Compile PDF + JSON bundles containing mission brief, diligence notes, score breakdowns, and live metrics.

• Maintain a changelog for every update that affects mission or risk posture.

• Prepare marketing-ready summaries for web and mobile surfaces.

8. Approval & Monitoring Handoff

• Present the asset to the governance committee for final go/no-go and tier placement.

• Publish the transparency pack and schedule automated monitors for weekly signal deltas.

• Feed alerts back into the analyst queue; recycle assets through steps 3–7 when material changes arise.

Analyst Tools (Current State)

• Intake form at web/src/components/data-submission-form.tsx posts to /api/submissions (24-hour retention).

• AgentAssistant offers deterministic responses covering preparation, scoring, and privacy messaging.

• Dashboard backend (/api/dashboard) seeds example assets/events to fuel prototype UIs.

• Optional KYC card (OptionalKycCard) requests Persona sessions via /api/kyc/initiate and tracks results through /api/kyc/callback.

Upcoming Enhancements

• Persistent storage for submissions + dashboard events (Postgres/Prisma).

• Automated scoring with explainable outputs.

• Analyst dashboard UI consuming /api/dashboard with filtering and assignment workflows.

• Integration with alerting (email, Slack) when monitors trigger.
