Board
HEAN
Screened
SCREENEDInsurance bindersHeath Mere
Budget exists on a board line. This is this quarter, not ‘when the rule opens’.
Pilots are named and redacted. The waitlist is not. a short list people already asked.
Heath Mere — A permissioned netting engine for trading venues and brokers that are already licensed. It reduces what has to settle. It is not a new CCP, and it is not a collateral token.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
They unpublish in an hour. They will not wait for your committee to finish reading.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
No policy-as-token in the revenue model.
Traction
One named pilot (redacted).
Founded 2024, headquartered in Manchester. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 71/100. 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
Bordereau cycle running without a side spreadsheet.
Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
The decline pile in Insurance binders is not a rumour. It is how this board stays readable. Heath Mere is what survived. That is the sell.
Heath Mere exists because the incumbent brand will not staff the unglamorous middle of Insurance binders. 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.
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 ops
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From the pilot
We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.
From the screen
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
You can read twelve thinner companies. Or this one, once, while the window is open.
A supervisor is already forcing a perimeter. Houses that pick software over a coin will buy this now.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.

The bet
Why this company exists.
The wedge is bordereaux: still email, still late, still wrong.
The wedge is bordereaux: still email, still late, still wrong.
T+1 and capital rules make gross settlement expensive. Venues will buy netting as a service before they will buy a new licence.
Post-trade cost is a line on every broker P&L. A 10% cut in settlement fails is a CFO conversation.
Versus the field
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Heath Mere is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
The live path is Undetermined — not a path. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
How it works
- 01Members post positions they already hold
- 02The engine nets what the rulebook allows
- 03Only the residual hits the existing settlement rail
- 04Collateral as a token is an exclusion on this file
- 05Claim and premium events update the same slip the markets already signed
- 06Exceptions post back into the customer’s existing case system — no side spreadsheet.

Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
- MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
- ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
- SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Per bordereau cycle
- Who pays
- A national registry counterpart, not a scrape.
- Unit economics
- Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
- Moat on file
- Lloyd’s-adjacent process knowledge — not a generic ledger.
- Switching cost
- Permissioned connectivity is the moat. Public endpoints would erase it.
- Vs the comps
- Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that.
- Why we listed it
- No policy-as-token in the revenue model.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
Bordereau cycle running without a side spreadsheet.
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 2024, headquartered in Manchester. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 71/100. 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
- Manchester 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
The founder wants a public book
The moment Heath Mere asks this pad to allocate, sell, or complete funding, the listing ends. That is not a moral project. It is how a services firm stays a services firm.
CCP perimeter
If a regulator reads this as clearing, the licence problem is existential.
Collateral token
That ask has been refused on files like this. It should stay refused.
Member default
Who eats the loss? If the answer is ‘the protocol’, there is no protocol that can.
Incumbent freeze-out
CCPs can copy the netting logic faster than a startup can collect members.
Not a carrier
If Heath Mere looks like it is taking risk, it needs a licence. The file says it does not. Keep it that way.
Facts vs theatre
A proof of a fake book is still a fake book. Heath Mere has to attach to the real one, in Manchester.
Ask these next
- 01Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
- 02Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
- 03If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 04Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
- 05Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
- 06What happens if a founder later wants a public token?

Who can decide
Tomás Okoye came in named. The team is not a handle. Heath Mere Ltd exists, founded 2024, headquartered in Manchester. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
