Version 1.0 — Issued by CrownThrive, LLC “Trust & Licensing Authority‑as‑a‑Service: Intake, Investigation, Sanctions, and Due‑Process Automation for the Decentralized Licensing & Compliance Layer.”
Audience: Enforcement architects, compliance officers, legal engineers, DLA operators, investigators, integrators, and Help Center editors curating the TLAAS for DLA category. Scope: Canonical reference for what TLAAS (DLA) is, how it’s built, how it runs in production, and which 30+ follow‑on docs to read next. (This master is explicitly for the DLA; it does not cover TLAAS for LEX.)
0 · How to Use this Master Doc (Help Center Index)
- Start here for the big picture and concrete build paths for DLA case management, sanctions, appeals, SLAs, and audits.
- Each section ends with “What to read next” cross‑links into the TLAAS (DLA) category.
- Code examples are illustrative; the authoritative sources are the runtime repository, policy votes, and DLA playbooks.
1 · System Overview
TLAAS (DLA) provides the enforcement plane for CHLOM™: Intake → Triage → Investigation → Sanction/Remediation → Appeal → Close. It binds licenses, KPIs, and compliance packs to a due‑process pipeline with cryptographic evidence, optional ZK‑privacy, and auditable outcomes. Sanctions are deterministic and on‑chain; every step emits events for indexing and regulator export.

2 · Core Protocols (Functional Specs)
2.1 Case Lifecycle Protocol (CLP)
Defines the canonical flow: Open → Triage → Investigate → Sanction/Remediate → Appeal → Resolve/Close.
Extrinsics (examples):
- dla.openCase(item_id, reason_code, evidence_ref)
- dla.assignInvestigator(case_id, account)
- dla.addEvidence(case_id, proof_ref)
- dla.applySanction(case_id, sanction_code, params)
- dla.resolve(case_id, ruling)
- dla.reopen(case_id, cause)
2.2 Sanctions & Remedies Protocol (SRP)
Deterministic outcomes mapped to breach codes: freeze, escrow, fine, clawback, slash, suspend, revoke, remediation plan with timers and KPIs.
- dla.freezeLicense(item_id)
- dla.setEscrow(item_id, amount, ref)
- dla.fine(item_id, amount)
- dla.requireRemediation(item_id, plan_cid)
2.3 Appeals & Due‑Process Protocol (ADP)
Time‑boxed appeal windows; higher quorum thresholds; optional ZK disclosure for sensitive metrics.
- dla.fileAppeal(case_id, memo_cid)
- gov.schedule(appeal_hearing)
2.4 SLA & Queue Protocol (SQP)
Per‑stage SLAs (triage, investigation, ruling). Auto‑escalations and breach alerts.
- dla.setSla(stage, blocks)
- dla.prioritize(case_id, level)

5 · Protocol Flows (Sequence Specs)
5.1 Intake & Triage
kpi.flag or user complaint → dla.openCase → SLA timer starts → assignInvestigator → evidence request via attestations → notifications via ThrivePush.
5.2 Investigation & Sanction
Gather proofs (KYC, IoT, POS, KPI) → verify (ZK where needed) → applySanction (freeze/escrow/fine/remediation) → chlom_royalty.setHold where required.
5.3 Appeal & Resolution
dla.fileAppeal within window → council hearing (quorum/threshold) → resolve with ruling → holds released or penalties enforced → audit record exported.
What to read next: Doc 09 — Sequence Diagrams & State Machines (DLA).
6 · Governance & DAO Mechanics
Compliance council roles; quorum/threshold curves; conviction locking for sensitive sanctions; scheduled execution for remediation plans; post‑hoc referendum on emergency freezes; reputation boosts for consistent SLA adherence.
What to read next: Doc 10 — Governance Parameters & Processes (DLA).
7 · Token Model (Runtime View)
- CHM (governance): stake/vote on sanction ladders, SLA targets, evidence standards.
- CHLOM (utility): fees for case filing, appeals, and remediation verification; treasury receives fines; 1%→5% sustainability routing from eligible fees.
What to read next: Doc 11 — Token Implementation & Fee Model (DLA).
8 · Oracles & Off‑Chain Workers
KYC/KYB, sanctions lists, IoT occupancy, POS revenue, sustainability receipts. OCWs batch case evidence pulls, rate‑limit external APIs, sign attestations, and provide back‑pressure under outages.
What to read next: Doc 12 — Oracle Gateway & OCW Patterns (DLA).
9 · Indexing & Analytics
Dashboards: open cases by stage, SLA heatmaps, sanction types/frequency, appeal outcomes, average time to resolve, holds/fines amounts, remediation success rates; exportable regulator bundles.
What to read next: Doc 13 — Indexing Blueprints; Doc 14 — Observability & Telemetry.
10 · Security, Privacy, and Compliance
Threats: forged evidence, oracle spoofing, governance capture, escrow/hold reentrancy, data leakage. Controls: multisig treasuries, audits, fuzzing/property tests, bounded math, non‑reentrant escrows, time‑locks for policy updates, ZK proofs for sensitive KPIs, selective disclosure.
What to read next: Doc 15 — Security Standards & Threat Model; Doc 16 — Privacy/ZK Patterns.
11 · Sustainability & Impact Hooks
A portion of eligible DLA fees routes 1% (scaling to 5%) to Stripe Climate; rotating EcoDrive campaigns (clean water, food, kelp, plastic removal, trees, jobs). recordImpact(kind, amount, ref) links case actions to public dashboards where applicable.
What to read next: Doc 17 — Sustainability Module & API.

16 · KPI Catalogue & Measurement (Enforcement)
Core KPIs: cases per 1k licenses, mean/median time‑to‑triage, time‑to‑resolve, SLA breach %, appeal overturn rate, remediation success %, oracle uptime, sanction recurrence rate.
What to read next: Doc 24 — KPI Library & Policies (DLA).
17 · LEX Interaction (Read‑Only / Escalation)
LEX respects DLA freezes/holds; suspicious patterns escalate via webhook/RPC to dla.openCase. DLA does not adjudicate trades; it adjudicates conduct.
What to read next: Doc 25 — LEX Interop (Escalation Hooks).
18 · Casebook & Playbooks (DLA Ops)
Templates: KPI fraud, forged proofs, constrained transfer attempts, ROFR abuse, wash‑trade alarms (from LEX), oracle outage. Checklists and resolution ladders with evidence schemas.
What to read next: Doc 26 — DLA Ops Casebook.
19 · Cross‑Chain & Bridging (Enforcement)

What to read next: Doc 27 — Cross‑Chain Strategy (DLA).
20 · Compliance Packs by Jurisdiction (Enforcement)
Rule packs define sanction ladders, disclosure artifacts, appeal windows, regulator export formats, and localized consent for evidence handling.
What to read next: Doc 28 — Regional Compliance Packs (DLA).
21 · Operational Runbooks (DLA Investigations & Governance)
Investigation SOPs (chain of custody, evidence validation, ZK checks); Governance ops (appeal calendars, thresholds, change control, incident response).
What to read next: Doc 29 — Investigator Runbook (SRE); Doc 30 — Governance Ops Manual.
22 · Contribution, Versioning, and SLA
Semantic versions; migration notes; state version bumps; deprecation policy; doc SLAs; change control; post‑mortems for enforcement incidents.

24 · Final Notes for Help Center Editors
- Keep this master current with each runtime and governance release.
- Every new enforcement policy/upgrade must link back to this index and add a child doc entry.
- Cross‑check examples against the repository CI snapshot and latest policy votes before publishing.
