The wedge
Per statement
The wedge is 2022: allocators asked for proof and got demos.
HEAJ
a short list already asked. The window is a few days. After that, archive.
Inbound this week: 35. That is demand for a job someone already pays for — not a book.
Heath Kiln — Accounting and proof layers for vaults that already hold assets for known clients. zk or otherwise, the point is a statement a counterparty can verify — not a public yield product.
In a 14-day diligence sprint (day 11). This is when the story, the customers and the legal path get written down — or the file stops.
If you needed a reason to open diligence tonight: a short list other people already did.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge
The wedge is 2022: allocators asked for proof and got demos.
Why the desk took it
No APY on any surface we could find.
Traction
Founded 2022, headquartered in Luxembourg. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 77/100. Sprint day 11 of 14. An AIFM whose auditor has seen the dual-record. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
Fund admins already report. This is a proof they can attach. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
The decline pile in Vault infrastructure is not a rumour. It is how this board stays readable. Heath Kiln is what survived. That is the sell.
The bet is narrow. A named Luxembourg buyer already has budget for this invoice. Heath Kiln wins if it is cheaper than the internal build and cleaner than the protocol pitch. It loses if a founder later wants a public book. The window is the time you have to decide which it is.
The auditor of a redacted pilot has seen a dual-record. Switching away now means a new auditor conversation. That is the switching cost — not the logo.
From the pilot
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From ops
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From counsel
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
The window
Skip it and you read the archive. Counterparties who matter will have already asked.
Certification is in motion. After it lands, the price of the seat is not the question — access is.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
Renewal is the round. If nobody renews, there is no company. A token would not fix that.

The bet
The wedge is 2022: allocators asked for proof and got demos.
The wedge is 2022: allocators asked for proof and got demos.
Allocators asked for proof after 2022. Labs answered with demos. The first vault accounting that an auditor will sign is a business.
Middle-office spend at alternative managers is a budget that survived the last cycle.
Versus the field
The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Heath Kiln sells the job the brand will not staff. A protocol pitch is the thing this company has already refused. Open-source looks free until the auditor asks who attests.
The live path is Not offering — locked. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
How it works
In the same conversation as
If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Claims & campaign ops
28%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Control environment
20%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Certifications & adapters
14%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Counsel & perimeter
38%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
One auditor-signed extract.
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
Founded 2022, headquartered in Luxembourg. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 77/100. Sprint day 11 of 14. An AIFM whose auditor has seen the dual-record. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Seat plus event. If they attach a token as the unit of account, this company is a different company — and not one we will operate a campaign for.
If the landing page is APY, this is a different, usually unlicensed, business.
A zk circuit of a fake book is still a fake book.
Who holds the keys? If it is the startup, that is custody.
No auditor, no statement. Demo is not diligence.
A zk circuit of a fake book is still a fake book. Heath Kiln has to prove the real one.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Heath Kiln has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Structure
Sprint is diligence, not a raise. A pack at the end is a file the company can take to its own lawyers and investors. RCA Pad does not complete funding.
Where they can operate
Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.
Team
Stack
Named with them
Who can decide
Nadia Berg came in named. The team is not a handle. Heath Kiln S.à r.l. exists, founded 2022, headquartered in Luxembourg. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Heath Kiln is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.
