How we work

A structured review before further commitment.

We review the information available about your project and document our findings in a readiness report. Where further work is appropriate, a separately commissioned Whitepaper defines the proposed path to tokenomics.

Working sequence

  1. 01

    Share your context

    Tell us about the project and the decision you need to make.

  2. 02

    Agree the scope

    Confirm the review’s outputs, required materials and commercial terms.

  3. 03

    Receive the review

    Get a written account of findings, assumptions, gaps and recommended next steps.

  4. 04

    Decide what comes next

    Use the recommendation to decide whether to progress, address conditions, pause or stop.

Decision Gateway

Our readiness work distinguishes the materials received, the assumptions relied upon, unresolved issues and the further work required. Where the engagement includes a Decision Gateway, the recommendation may be Go, Proceed with Conditions, Pause or No-Go.

Possible recommendations

Go

Move to defining the scope of the next engagement, which may include a separately commissioned Whitepaper.

Proceed with Conditions

Address the stated conditions before progressing as specified.

Pause

Defer while further information, decisions or reviews are required.

No-Go

Stop tokenization planning at this stage because of the identified constraints.

A Go recommendation is not approval of an asset or confirmation that issuance, financing or a market will be available.

Further work is separately scoped. The assessment does not commit the client to an implementation programme.

What Phase One means in our pilot engagements.

The Phase One Pilot Readiness Assessment is a preliminary review based on materials provided by the client. It covers readiness gaps and potential pathways that may merit further analysis.

Materials you provide

The client remains responsible for supplying the relevant records and assumptions. Where material is missing or unsuitable for reliance, the report may identify the area as unresolved or not assessable.

What you receive

It concludes with a Phase One Readiness Report and a Decision Gateway discussion. The Decision Gate Memo records the recommendation and is confirmed by signature or email.

Outside the stated scope

The work does not include independent verification, an audit, a valuation, specialist legal or tax advice, a full investor-demand study or technical implementation unless separately agreed under the appropriate engagement.

HOW TOKENIZATION WORKS

Understand the decisions. Then examine your project.

An example can explain the questions. A readiness review examines the information behind your own project.

What would the token represent?

Property ownership and a claim on rental income are different propositions.

The proposed rights shape the documents, responsibilities and specialist input the project needs.

What a readiness review can help clarify

How the proposed rights are described, what information supports them and which questions require specialist advice.

Token-holder rights

What a holder is entitled to under the governing arrangements. Holding a token does not by itself establish ownership of the underlying property.

Move from the example to your own project.

Tell us about the asset, your objective and the decision you are considering. We can discuss whether a readiness review would be a useful next step.

Scope and commercial terms are agreed before work begins. Specialist advice and implementation are separately scoped where appropriate.

Roles across the wider process.

An illustrative sequence, not a commitment to deliver every phase. Steps may overlap or stop.

Project context

The asset

Project context

Start with the asset or project: a building, a farm, a portfolio or a business activity. Identify who owns it, the rights involved and the information available about its economics.

Earthberries

ReadinessPhase One

Earthberries reviews client-provided materials: ownership records, financial assumptions, existing commitments and decision-making responsibilities. Phase One identifies gaps and ends with a report and a recommendation: Go, Proceed with Conditions, Pause or No-Go.

A preliminary review, without independent verification unless separately agreed. Go means defining the next engagement, not approval to issue.

The WhitepaperSeparate engagement

Under a separately scoped Phase Two engagement, Earthberries documents the proposed token design: rights, supply, transfer rules, governance and project dependencies. Specialist input informs the document.

The Whitepaper is a deliverable of a subsequent engagement. Producing it does not launch a token or secure regulatory approval.

Specialists and relevant intermediaries

Structure

Specialist work

The proposed legal arrangements define what a holder would own or be entitled to. Depending on the project, this may involve a separate legal vehicle. Qualified advisers address the legal, tax and valuation questions within their engagements.

Compliance and partners

Advisers and relevant intermediaries

The project identifies the applicable requirements and who is responsible for meeting them. Activities requiring authorisation are carried out by appropriately licensed intermediaries. Onboarding, distribution and custody arrangements depend on the project and jurisdiction.

These questions inform readiness and structuring; they are not a final check left until issuance.

Conditional implementation and operation

Issuance

Subject to requirements and separate implementation

If the required arrangements, reviews and decisions are in place, the rights defined in the documents may be represented by tokens. The technology must reflect the agreed structure and transfer restrictions.

Tokenization does not, by itself, establish ownership or replace the governing documents.

Cash flows and reporting

Ongoing operation

Where the asset generates income, payments are handled according to the governing documents. The operating arrangements define administration, reporting and the responsibilities of each party.

Transfers

Conditional on the structure and market

Where the structure and applicable rules permit, interests may be transferred between eligible holders. Restrictions, available counterparties and market arrangements determine whether a transfer can take place.

A token does not guarantee that a buyer or a secondary market will be available.

Beyond the assessment · A separate engagement

A Whitepaper for your path to tokenomics.

For projects moving beyond the initial review, Earthberries prepares a Whitepaper under a separate engagement. It sets out the project’s proposed path to tokenomics.

A document for your team and advisers to discuss the proposed approach and the work needed to develop it.

The Whitepaper is not included in the Readiness Assessment. Its scope, required inputs, timing and fee are agreed before that work begins.

Discuss a Whitepaper engagement

Your questions, answered.

Does a positive screening result mean the asset is ready to issue?

No. Screening is based on the information submitted and is an initial step. Further review, specialist input and the relevant decisions may still be required.

Does Earthberries independently verify the client’s documents?

The pilot readiness scope described on this page relies on client-provided materials without independent verification unless expressly agreed in writing. The scope of any new engagement must specify its own review boundaries.

Will the assessment tell us how much capital we can raise?

It does not guarantee capital availability or establish investor demand. The review may identify assumptions and further work needed to evaluate a potential pathway.

Do we need to have selected a blockchain or technical provider?

You can discuss your project before making those selections. The relevant technical and partner questions depend on the proposed structure and agreed scope.

Can our existing advisers participate?

The roles of existing advisers and any additional specialists can be defined when scoping the engagement.

What happens after a Pause or No-Go?

The recommendation explains the conditions or constraints identified. Further work is not automatically required or sold as a consequence of that outcome.
