# Goodsaff

*/Startups/Goodsaff*

## Startup Overview

This system verifies the provenance of digital assets across distributed marketplaces. It tracks ownership history, origin data, and authenticity at the protocol level, ensuring that digital items retain their verified status regardless of where they are traded.

Digital creators, gaming studios, and decentralized exchanges constantly lose revenue to unauthorized asset duplication and attribution fraud. Traditional defenses rely on slow manual audits or legacy DRM platforms that break down once an asset leaves a walled ecosystem.

Rather than forcing users into proprietary applications or relying on reactive sweeps like BrandShield, the verification engine is API-native and built for headless integration directly into existing marketplace infrastructure. The service is entirely outcome-priced, billing exclusively for successful provenance checks.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting sub-100ms response times to enable real-time asset verification during active marketplace checkouts.
- Aiming to reduce unauthorized digital asset circulation by 80% for enterprise creators within their first 90 days.
- Seeking a 99.9% true-positive identification rate to ensure authorized distributors and legitimate resellers remain unaffected.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Provenance Query · Price: ~$0.02–$0.08 per verification · Inclusions: Headless API access, cross-marketplace metadata checking, and cryptographic registry queries for high-volume asset tracking.
- Name: Enforced Resolution · Price: ~$30–$80 per successful takedown · Inclusions: Automated copyright claim generation, unauthorized listing removal routing, and continuous post-takedown monitoring for specific flagged assets.
- Name: Enterprise Protection · Price: ~$15k–$40k/yr platform minimum · Inclusions: Dedicated instance hosting, unlimited baseline provenance queries, custom whitelist management, and priority SLAs for global reseller networks.
**Guarantee**: Goodsaff bills exclusively on definitive outcomes: if the API returns an inconclusive provenance check or fails to secure a requested listing removal, the transaction incurs zero cost.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our current DAM is legacy and not built for headless integrations. Rebuttal: Designed to offer standard webhook fallback and low-code platform connectors alongside the core API.
- Objection: Automated takedowns risk penalizing our legitimate retail partners. Rebuttal: Operates against a strict, client-defined cryptographic whitelist and supports mandatory human-in-the-loop review queues before filing external claims.
- Objection: Existing DRM platforms already protect our files. Rebuttal: Legacy DRM locks the file format and degrades user experience; Goodsaff verifies provenance across open, distributed networks without restricting legitimate asset usage.
