Check the original record, the claim it supports and the date it was accessed. A firm publication, a regulator rulebook and independent reporting perform different jobs.
How this reference uses sources
This reference covers adgm digital-asset legal structure. Create a clear audit trail from the proposed activity to the documents and authority sources used to assess it. Original practical checklists and matrices help readers organise the facts; the linked sources supply the legal or professional record.
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Official regulatory material | Use the authority’s own rulebooks and registers for the applicable text, scope and permission status. A link to a regulator does not imply that it endorses Ape Law. |
| Ape Law publications | Use official firm, service, author and case pages for statements about the firm. A case note is the publisher’s account, with the limits stated in the original. |
| External records | Name the original publisher and the exact claim it supports. A document hosted by a public body is evidence of that document, not a professional recommendation. |
| Editorial tools | Checklists, matrices and hypothetical examples are explanatory tools created for this reference. They do not describe a client matter or regulator decision. |

Send a source correction to hello@ape.law with the entry URL, the wording in question and a supporting primary source. Changes should be reflected in the page and its publication history.
