Inside the product

Three surfaces, one chain of accountability.

The marketplace, the chain map, and the recovery board all share the same evidence-first operating model.

Chain-of-custody map Track legs, locations, overdue risk, and return proof in one operational view.
Marketplace discovery Map-first search with readiness, trust filters, and location-aware browse paths.
Missing board Community BOLO alerts, moderation states, and share-ready recovery surfaces.

Workflow walkthrough

From request to return, the trail never breaks.

Discovery, trust gates, check-ins, and recovery actions share the same chain data, so operators do not bounce between disconnected tools.

  • Approvals and due windows start the record cleanly.
  • Check-ins add time, place, and condition proof mid-loan.
  • Missing-item recovery surfaces inherit the same item history automatically.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they loan.

What if something gets damaged?

Condition snapshots and return proofs make disputes evidence-first, with clear escalation paths.

How do sub-loans stay accountable?

Each sub-loan is tracked as a new leg with its own check-ins and timeline.

Do borrowers see my contact info?

Protected contact details stay locked until a user signs in and passes trust gates.

How are trust tiers calculated?

Trust scores reflect on-time returns, check-ins, and verified history.

What happens if a borrower is late?

Escalation rules kick in with reminders, BOLO workflows, and audit trails.

Can I limit who sees my inventory?

Yes. Visibility scopes let you share publicly, to trusted borrowers, or within your network.

Do you offer team accounts?

Yes. Team workspaces are in pilot rollout now, with shared approvals and governance controls expanding through the current shipping cycle.

How do tips and gratitude work?

Optional tips are suggested per listing and are never required.
