DC-Services UK Getting Started

Service Level Activation

Once discovery and verification are concluded, we transition to the activation of the chosen service level. This stage defines the depth of the data record—ranging from basic asset inventories to complex, multidimensional operational risk intelligence reports. Institutional clients can select the specific modules that best support their unique supervisory requirements. This modular approach allows for scalable documentation that can evolve alongside the client's asset profile or changing regulatory landscapes.

• ›Written intake brief signed by the client
• ›Conflicts screen and independence check
• ›Defined deliverable list and retention envelope

Integration with Supervisory Routes

A critical component of getting started is establishing how DC-SERVICES documentation will flow to a client's secondary stakeholders, such as auditors or legal counsel. We establish clear supervisory routes that allow for the seamless export and verification of records. This ensures that when a 'Clarity Check' or third-party audit is required, the underlying documentation is already structured in a format that prioritises transparency, accessibility, and evidentiary strength.

• ›Source hashing at intake
• ›Role-based, time-bound access
• ›Two-stage review before release

Operational Boundaries and Exclusions

Transparency regarding what is not included in the 'Getting Started' phase is essential for institutional risk management. DC-SERVICES does not engage in price discovery, market-making, or portfolio management. Our role is strictly limited to the production of high-fidelity documentation and risk records. During onboarding, we make it explicitly clear that we never hold client keys, control funds, or offer opinions on the financial viability of the assets being documented.

Onboarding Completion and Launch

The final stage of getting started is the formal launch of the documentation mandate. At this point, all technical, compliance, and scope-related hurdles have been cleared. The institutional client receives their initial baseline report, setting the benchmark for all future recordings. From here, our team maintains regular oversight and QA of the digital-asset records, ensuring they remain accurate and reflective of the client's operational reality under the agreed mandate.
