Board
KELT
Screened
SCREENEDCommodity titleKeel Title
Budget exists on a board line. This is this quarter, not ‘when the rule opens’.
Closed files are history. Live files have a clock. Keel Title has 35 days.
Keel Title — 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.
Window 35d. Waitlist a short list. 9 asks this week. This is not a quiet listing.
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
One named pilot (redacted).
Founded 2024, headquartered in Calgary. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 72/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
Next 12 months
Which law governs title — written, not assumed.
Bank portals are silos. Keel Title is the record both sides file. They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Keel Title would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Commodity title is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.
If you leave this page without opening the claims table, you have read marketing. The scarce version of Keel Title is the version that survives counsel. It is on a clock.
On a Tuesday in Calgary, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.
From the screen
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 founder
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From ops
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
When the heat drops, the named customer is still named — they just stop taking new calls.
The comment period is not a path. This company is priced as if that is already true.
Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.

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. Keel Title is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Calgary being the city does not make local retail a default audience. Communications capable of inducing investment activity still have a promotions problem.
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.
Second market
39%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Control environment
28%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Claims & campaign ops
17%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Named operators
16%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
- FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
- TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
- SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Warehouse seat
- Who pays
- A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production.
- Unit economics
- They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
- Moat on file
- Dual-control on title change — the fraud case is the feature.
- Switching cost
- Scheme maps, ISO, LMA language, registry adapters — eighteen months of unglamorous work.
- Vs the comps
- Bank portals are silos. Keel Title is the record both sides file.
- Why we listed it
- Public listing of cargo was refused on day one.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
Which law governs title — written, not assumed.
A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
If they raise, it is to hire the remaining certifications and the second market — not to float a coin.
Traction
What you can verify today.
Founded 2024, headquartered in Calgary. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 72/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
- Calgary 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 unit of account becomes a token
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.
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.
Single-customer gravity
If the first named buyer is also the only buyer, Keel Title is a services shop with a ledger. Ask for the second.
Ask these next
- 01Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
- 02If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 03Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
- 04What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
- 05Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
- 06Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?

Who can decide
Sasha Hale (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.
Year two is a second named market and the remaining certifications — still permissioned. It is not a public book. A public book would be a different company.
