Shipment File Check.
A trader, offtaker, financier or insurer holding one live DRC copper or cobalt position, where money, title or cover is about to move against a file assembled by someone else. Also mining lawyers and diligence teams who need the ground layer behind the paper they are reviewing.
Before prepayment. Before taking title. Before binding cover. Before a document set is relied on in a dispute. The check is worth least the day after the money moves.
One position, four layers. The documents against each other. The issuers and the counterparty: licences, registry standing, mandate to sell. The export window, including the DRC cobalt quota regime. The corridor and the ground against the paper. Findings graded Green, Amber, Red or Black. A Black finding stops the review and is reported at once.
A written verdict: Holds, Holds subject to named points, or Does not hold. Named points listed with the evidence behind each. An evidence matrix showing what was checked, how, and what was found. A walkthrough call included. The verdict states what would change it.
Fee.
£4,000, fixed. Paid before work starts. No success fees, ever.
Timeline.
Five working days from the later of cleared payment and complete documents. If the cargo is already moving, say so in the first message.
What is excluded.
Legal opinions. Valuation and price opinion. Assay, sampling or cargo inspection. Sanctions legal advice. Brokerage or introductions. Anything requiring field travel, which is scoped separately as a Ground Check. Files in which the desk has any conflict, which are declined with the reason stated.
