How a Spring Gold casefile becomes a evidence filing:

1. Triage on Spring Gold, submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on Spring Gold, deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain of custody hashes.
3. Identify on Spring Gold, off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the Spring Gold packet, IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on Spring Gold, the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

Chains and off-ramps the Professor follows:

• Deposit-side chains in Spring Gold casefiles, typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT), with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in Spring Gold packets, centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on Spring Gold, IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.
