This section pertains to client diligence processes.
Who are your target clients?
Other (specified above)
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
N/A
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.

N/A
How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients?
N/A
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?
Other (specified elsewhere)
How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
Its my own data, testing RIBS.
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
N/A
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
N/A
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
N/A
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.
Recommended Minimum: 3 locations, 4 to 5 storage providers, 5 copies
How many replicas will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
5+
What geographic or regional distribution will you require?
N?A
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
5+
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?
N/A
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
RIBS
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
https://github.com/FILCAT/ribs
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
N/A
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:
N/A
Will you use programmatic or software based allocations?
Yes, standardized and software based
What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients?
https://github.com/FILCAT/ribs
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
No 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
https://github.com/FILCAT/ribs
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
No
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
N/A
What will your DataCap distribution look like?
N/A
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.
N/A
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
N/A
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
N/A
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
N/A
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?
N/A
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
N/A
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.
N/A
Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.
N/A
