01 — Deal Protection
02 — Visibility Model
Each participant sees only what their role requires. Source identity, fee records, and compliance details are revealed only through permissioned access rules.
03 — Role Documentation
AurumShield can document role participation and preserve counterparty permissions as part of the transaction package. Fee terms follow the structured settlement record, not informal side agreements.
