Cient Diligence Section:
This section pertains to client diligence processes.
Who are your target clients?
Individuals learning about Filecoin,Small-scale developers or data owners,Enterprise Data Clients
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
The purpose of allocating the DataCap is to make sure clients use these DataCap in the right way to store real and valid data. We firstly specify some rules to figure out the true identity of the applicant.
• Browse their official website to get a general understanding of the company or the individual.
• Query the company's registration information from government related websites to make sure the information he submitted is truth.
• Ask some questions to know about the applicant's position/organization/plan/use case etc.
• Then We will classify applicants based on their industry reputation and scale etc. All applicants will be divided into eight categories to determine the amount of datacap they will get.
The whole application process should be open and transparent. There are only several necessary internal processes Currently:
• Some brief communications via e-mail to make sure the e-mail address is authentic and valid.
• For some companies involved in confidentiality that can’t answer some details in public, we will have some communications in our private repository. In the event of a dispute, we will share the repository with officials immediately. The target and amount of our allocation can be found in the scoring guidelines.
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
search.sunbiz.org
Can any client apply to your pathway, or will you be closed to only your own internal clients? (eg: bizdev or self-referral)
Any client can apply to my pathway
How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients?
I plan to track the rate once or twice a week trough tools.
Data Diligence
This section will cover the types of data that you expect to notarize.
As a reminder: The Filecoin Plus program defines quality data is all content that meets local regulatory requirements AND
• the data owner wants to see on the network, including private/encrypted data
• or is open and retrievable
• or demonstrates proof of concept or utility of the network, such as efforts to improve onboarding
As an operating entity in the Filecoin Community, you are required to follow all local & regional regulations relating to any data, digital and otherwise. This may include PII and data deletion requirements, as well as the storing, transmitting, or accessing of data.
Acknowledgement: Acknowledge
What type(s) of data would be applicable for your pathway?
Private Non-Profit/Social Impact,Private Commercial/Enterprise,Public Open Commercial/Enterprise,Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit)
How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
To verify a client's data ownership, I would use a combination of methods, including requesting official documentation such as business registration certificates, tax identification numbers, and other relevant legal documents. I may also verify the client's data ownership through third-party sources such as public records and databases.
Using a third-party KYB service to verify enterprise clients can be a valuable additional layer of verification. This service can provide access to comprehensive databases and sources of information to confirm the legitimacy and ownership of the client's business. It can also help to identify any potential red flags or discrepancies in the client's data.
Ultimately, the decision to use a third-party KYB service to verify enterprise clients will depend on the specific requirements and risk assessment of the business. It can be a useful tool to enhance the due diligence process and ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the client's data ownership.
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
Research local and regional legal requirements: Start by thoroughly researching the data protection and privacy laws in the specific local and regional areas in which the data will be stored and processed.
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
The displayed data should be representative, able to illustrate certain characteristics and attributes of the entire data, such as data volume, data generation rate, etc.
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
I will use random sampling to ensure that the data is representative of the entire population. This will involve selecting a random sample from the dataset to analyze and verify
Data Distribution
This section covers deal-making and data distribution.
As a reminder, the Filecoin Plus program currently defines distributed onboarding as multiple physical locations AND multiple storage provider entities to serve client requirements.
How many replicas will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
5+
What geographic or regional distribution will you require?
At least 7-8 locations and 3-4 separate geopolitical regions. No, I will not require certain geopolitical regions.
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
4+
Do you require equal percentage distribution for your clients to their chosen SPs? Will you require preliminary SP distribution plans from the client before allocating any DataCap?
Yes, I will use a template to do recording.
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
the CID checker botYes.
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
Yes. I will.
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
I will not support it. Clients should provide evidence that they are not using VPN.
DataCap Allocation Strategy
In this section, you will explain your client DataCap allocation strategy.
Keep in mind the program principle over Limited Trust Over Time. Parties, such as clients, start with a limited amount of trust and power.
Additional trust and power need to be earned over time through good-faith execution of their responsibilities and transparency of their actions.
Will you use standardized DataCap allocations to clients?
Yes, standardized
Allocation Tranche Schedule to clients:
We conduct our internal review process through 4 stages
1. The primary reviewer will conduct a basic review of the application submitted by the client. The applicant's data storage must be open and valid data, and there are real storage requirements.
2. According to the results of the basic review, the junior reviewers will submit the allocation process to the intermediate reviewers, and the intermediate reviewers will give a score based on the content of the evaluation model.
3. According to the scoring results of the intermediate reviewers, the senior reviewers will further conduct a detailed investigation of the business ecology of the company, as well as verify the true information of the applicant and the company, and make a final decision and signature.
4. After the decision of the senior reviewer is approved and signed, the DataCap will be assigned a certain amount to the client. If not passed, we will inform the client of the review result.
Will you use programmatic or software based allocations?
No, manually calculated & determined
What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients?
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
Periodically review and audit DataCap usage (as metioned above, records are tracked and reviewed periodically to determine disqualification or demotion of nonconforming customers) Users can upgrade according to the actual situation to meet the requirements Communicate with customers regularly to understand relevant requirements and progress, and provide better service to customers Of course, try to avoid this situation in the initial review of the application and improve the initial application information supplement during the continuous record review process.
Tooling & Bookkeeping
This program relies on many software tools in order to function. The Filecoin Foundation and PL have invested in many different elements of this end-to-end process, and will continue to make those tools open-sourced. Our goal is to increase adoption, and we will balance customization with efficiency.
This section will cover the various UX/UI tools for your pathway. You should think high-level (GitHub repo architecture) as well as tactical (specific bots and API endoints).
Describe in as much detail as possible the tools used for:
• client discoverability & applications
• due diligence & investigation
• bookkeeping
• on-chain message construction
• client deal-making behavior
• tracking overall allocator health
• dispute discussion & resolution
• community updates & comms

Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
yes
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
all records will be public. Also, if we have detailed communication needs E-mail, we will save the screenshots..
Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance
This framework ensures the responsible allocation of DataCap by conducting regular audits, enforcing strict compliance checks, and requiring allocators to maintain transparency and engage with the community. This approach safeguards the ecosystem, deters misuse, and upholds the commitment to a fair and accountable storage marketplace.
In addition to setting their own rules, each notary allocator will be responsible for managing compliance within their own pathway. You will need to audit your own clients, manage interventions (such as removing DataCap from clients and keeping records), and respond to disputes.
Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients.
This should include regular check-ins, tracking DataCap distribution metrics, understanding client demographics, time metrics, trust evaluations, and the use of tools such as CID Checker/Retrievability Bot.
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
response ASSP within 3 working days
All discussions must be transparent on GitHub, and language must not be discriminatory based on race or ethnicity. All speculations and inferences must be supported by evidence and no unreasonable speculations are allowed.

Regarding security, how will you structure and secure the on-chain notary address? If you will utilize a multisig, how will it be structured? Who will have administrative & signatory rights?
Ne use a multi-signature wallet to operate, and we keep important information about otherpeople confidential. The main exercise rights are held by the core personnel of the company（no more than three people)
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
NO
Monetization
While the Filecoin Foundation and PL will continue to make investments into developing the program and open-sourcing tools, we are also striving to expand and encourage high levels of service and professionalism through these new Notary Allocator pathways. These pathways require increasingly complex tooling and auditing platforms, and we understand that Notaries (and the teams and organizations responsible) are making investments into building effective systems.
It is reasonable for teams building services in this marketplace to include monetization structures. Our primary guiding principles in this regard are transparency and equity. We require these monetization pathways to be clear, consistent, and auditable.
Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.
