## Checkpoints

To pass each checkpoint you hand in a piece of real work. What each one asks for:

- **Due Diligence Gate:** Submit a sourced due-diligence note on one tokenized asset: the claim (quoted), the guarantor, the custody model, the redemption path, the exit path with round-trip cost, and a ranked failure mode with your plan. 'Could not find' with evidence of looking is a valid answer; unsourced assertions are not.
