Board
DRIC
Screened
SCREENEDPort titleDrift Desk
Hannah Costa will not run a sale here. That is why serious people are in the queue.
Renewal — not the round — is the twelve-month test. The people in this queue already know that.
Drift Desk — A permissioned record of title, invoices, warehouse receipts or port documents for houses that already finance or move goods. The event is the product. The bill of lading does not get replaced by a meme.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
The named customer already picked. The waitlist is everyone who was late to that fact.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

File readiness
Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
Public listing of cargo was refused on day one.
Traction
No paying pilot on the public file.
Founded 2022, headquartered in Zurich. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 70/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
One financed shipment against this record.
Bank portals are silos. Drift Desk is the record both sides file. Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
In Zurich, the person who signs the monthly pack already has a vendor. Drift Desk is not asking them to believe in a token. It is asking them to move one job — the one that currently lives in a spreadsheet, a fax, or a person who is about to retire — onto a record that can be shown to counsel. The queue to read that record is already not empty.
Drift Desk exists because the incumbent brand will not staff the unglamorous middle of Port title. The product is that middle. The token, if it ever exists, is not the product — and is not for sale here. The people in the queue already understood the difference.
A sentence went public and came down in under an hour. Hannah Costa treated the kill as an operating skill, not a PR event. Files that cannot do this do not stay listed.
From the pilot
This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.
From the screen
We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.
From ops
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
The next Port title company on this board will not have this waitlist, this HQ, or this counsel posture.
Budget exists on a line the board can see. That is why the window is this quarter.
We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.

The bet
Why this company exists.
The wedge is the courier: two days of documentary lag is a spread.
The wedge is the courier: two days of documentary lag is a spread.
Banks want to digitise without putting a commodity on a public chain. Warehouses will not be first movers. A permissioned title event they already recognise is the on-ramp.
Documentary trade is a trillion-scale flow. Software that shortens a hold by two days is a spread.
Versus the field
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Drift Desk is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Named: Switzerland, EEA professional, United Kingdom. Off-limits: United States retail. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Zurich. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.
How it works
- 01A document that already exists is hashed and evented
- 02Title changes when the parties that already can change it say so
- 03Financiers see the state they are underwriting
- 04No public listing of the cargo as an asset
- 05Title changes only when the parties that already can change it say so
- 06Kill of a public sentence is an hour, not a committee.

If they raise
Where the money would actually go.
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Counsel & perimeter
36%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Named operators
27%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Claims & campaign ops
14%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Certifications & adapters
23%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
- WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
- SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
- MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell

- Who pays

- Unit economics
- Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.

- Switching cost
- The customer’s auditor has seen this book. Switching means a new auditor conversation.
- Vs the comps

- Why we listed it
- Public listing of cargo was refused on day one.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
One financed shipment against this record.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Growth money would extend the record to a second geography, still permissioned.
Traction
What you can verify today.
Founded 2022, headquartered in Zurich. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 70/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Named founder; customer still a conversation
- Zurich is the operating centre
- The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
- RCA Pad does not take a cut of proceeds

Risks
What can kill it.
The one that actually kills it
Counsel is a slide
Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Not offering — locked has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.
Legal title
If the court still wants the paper, the chain is a copy. Ask which jurisdiction has said otherwise.
Warehouse adoption
One bank is not a network. The warehouse has to write the event.
Public token
Tokenising the cargo for a crowd is a different, usually worse, company.
Fraud
Digitising a fake bill faster is not progress. Dual-control is the feature.
Paper still wins in court
If the court wants the original, the chain is a copy. Ask which jurisdiction has said otherwise.
Incumbent feature
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Drift Desk has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.
Ask these next
- 01What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
- 02Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
- 03Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
- 04Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
- 05Which geography is actually locked, and which is a hope?
- 06If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?

Who can decide
The technical founder is on the record as Markets. Contractors in undisclosed jurisdictions are written down as a fact, not hidden. Facts can be managed. Hiding them is how companies die in diligence.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Drift Desk is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.
