The five questions behind every dossier
Every token in the Asset Library is read against the same five questions — the FORA-01 verification standard. Here is what they are, and why the order matters.
Observation
The Asset Library now holds 126 token dossiers, each built from the project's own documents. Every dossier answers the same underlying questions — the FORA-01 standard:
1. What does the holder actually own — a title, a redemption claim, fractional ownership, reserve exposure, or just narrative?
2. Who holds the underlying resource — is there an identifiable custodian or entity?
3. How are reserves checked — from custodian records through inventory, third-party audit, to supply reconciliation?
4. What are the redemption mechanics — eligibility, minimums, fees, KYC, settlement, token burn or lock on redemption?
5. Who is liable if redemption fails — a legally accountable entity in a jurisdiction, not a wallet address or a DAO label?
Interpretation
The order is deliberate. Most token analysis starts at question 3 (audits) or question 4 (mechanics). FORA-01 starts at question 1 because the most common failure in crypto is not fraud in the reserves — it is confusion about what was purchased in the first place. A blockchain proves the ticket exists. The five questions determine whether there is a coat behind the counter.
Applied across 126 dossiers, the pattern is already visible: the further a token sits from clean answers to questions 1 and 2, the more its price runs on narrative. The library is the evidence, the methodology page is the standard, and the briefs are where the two meet.
What would change this view
Nothing about the questions — they are structural, not situational. What changes are the answers, token by token, as new primary documents appear. The dossiers update. The record stands.
