Justice Ledger Path Blackpaper™

Escalation Scribe Sovereign Protocol

Version 0.1 — Issued by CrownThrive, LLC

1 · Invocation

“Where money moves, conflicts follow. Justice must move faster.”

The Justice Ledger Path is the canonical rule‑set for every Escalation Scribe operating inside the CrownThrive® + CHLOM™ network. It codifies how disputes are ingested, notarised, arbitrated, and monetised — all at blockchain speed, zero opacity, and immutable finality.

2 · Mission & Mandate

Purpose Safeguard the integrity of every ThrivePath transaction by providing a trust‑minimised, time‑bound dispute rail.

Cultural Imperative Under‑represented entrepreneurs historically lack fair arbitration channels; this path hard‑codes equity, speed, and auditability into the ledger.

Why CrownThrive Acted To ensure that no override split is unjustly withheld and no accusation lingers without sovereign, data‑backed judgment.

If no quorum, smart‑contract defaults to last valid ledger state and fines negligent party 0.5 % stake.

5 · Revenue & Tokenomics

Core Streams

#	Stream	Split to Scribe	Trigger
1	Fixed Stipend	0.5 % of Corporate 10 % slice (auto‑streamed daily)	Active node status
2	Dispute Filing Fee	20 % of 10 CHLOM filing fee	`logTicket()` events
3	Penalty Allocation	10 % of any slashed stake from guilty party	`caseClosed(guilty)`
4	Arbitration Workshop	85 % of training ticket revenue (CrownThriveU)	Hosted quarterly

Projected Low (Year‑1): ≈ $1 200 / mo Projected High: ≈ $3 500 / mo

All payouts settle in CHLOM; Fiat off‑ramp available via Stripe Connect.

6 · Toolchain & Smart‑Contracts

Module	Function	Gas Payer
`logTicket()`	Writes dispute hash + meta	Corporate
`evidencePush()`	IPFS → CHLOM CID notarisation	Filing Party
`decisionEmit()`	Updates `DisputeLedger` mapping	Corporate
`penaltySlash()`	Moves stake to escrow & splits	Corporate

Corporate absorbs gas to prevent friction; Scribes never pay network costs out‑of‑pocket.

7 · Compliance & Ethical Guardrails

Impartiality Hash Each Scribe’s voting record hashed per case; DAO can ZK‑audit for bias.
Confidential Attachments Sensitive docs encrypted client‑side; only decryption keys shared with Scribe & Tier‑2 Council.
Conflict‑of‑Interest Oracle AI scans social graph for ties >2 hops; auto‑recuses Scribe if threshold met.

8 · Performance Metrics

Metric	Min Threshold	Measured By
Triage Response Time	≤ 6 h avg	Chain event timestamps
Resolution Accuracy	≥ 98 % upheld on appeal	DAO audit reports
Dispute Backlog	< 15 open >48 h	`openCaseCount()`

Failure to meet two metrics in a 30‑day window triggers Temporary Freeze — stipend halts until KPIs restored.

9 · Succession & Exit Logic

Scribe may file successionNotice() with DAO‑notarised successor wallet. Upon voluntary exit or oracle‑confirmed incapacity, successor inherits role after posting full stake within 10 days. Slashed if not completed.

10 · Closing Invocation

“A ledger without justice is just ink. We engrave fairness in every block.”

By activating the Justice Ledger Path you consent to CHLOM jurisdiction, KPI enforcement, and irrevocable public audit of all rulings.

Appendix C · Stake & Slash Math

Minimum stake 2 000 CHM.
Minor negligence: 5 % stake burn.
Major fraud: 40 % stake burn + DAO blacklist.

Appendix D · Roadmap Highlights

v0.2 — ZK evidence proofs (client docs stay private).
v0.3 — Cross‑chain dispute ingestion (EVM bridge).
v1.0 — Open‑source arbitration SDK for external DAOs.
