Here's the checklist. We've also sent a copy to your inbox.

1. Split written into the IMFPA, not a side email
2. IMFPA signed before TERM, never after BANK
3. Payout routed through a neutral paymaster — no single-party control
4. Release trigger tied to CLOSED, not to a principal's say-so
5. Dispute clause naming which signed version governs
