Remote online notarization

High-stakes documents (real estate, estate, finance) need identity-verified, witnessed signing — remote online notarization (RON). Less a standalone pivot than a layer that opens regulated verticals above.

Vitals (seed — unverified): market: notarization-gated transactions · per-notarization · buyer: title / legal / lenders · model: per-transaction · whitespace: ★☆☆

Seed thesis

• The mess: Identity verification; live witnessing/recording; per-state RON rules; tamper-evident audit.
• Why now: Adds ID verification + RON on top of signing; opens real estate, estate, and finance workflows.
• The money: Per-transaction; gateway to higher-value regulated verticals.
• Whitespace: Incumbents exist (Notarize, etc.); best as an upsell, not a standalone bet.
