Institutional Tier: Advanced Global Settings Locks (GSL) and multi-day time-locks permanently enforced on all accounts.

Fragmented Tier: IP whitelisting active, but settings can be bypassed instantly via single-user master access.

Exposed Tier: No whitelisting or time-delay protocols active; manual withdrawals execute instantly.

Question 6: Intergenerational Succession Framework
Do you have an air-gapped, verifiable inheritance protocol (e.g., a non-custodial cryptographic "Dead Man's Switch" or structured physical operational instructions) that guarantees secure asset continuity to your heirs without exposing keys to third-party executors or state courts?

Question 6: Intergenerational Succession FrameworkDo you have an air-gapped, verifiable inheritance protocol (e.g., a non-custodial cryptographic "Dead Man's Switch" or structured physical operational instructions) that guarantees secure asset continuity to your heirs without exposing keys to third-party executors or state courts?

Institutional Tier: Documented, non-custodial succession architecture tested and validated.

Fragmented Tier: Trust/Will created, but lacks the specific technical keys or operational execution steps for on-chain asset recovery.
