--- title: Source References entity: SwissChain Holding SA jurisdiction: Switzerland doc_type: disclosures status: validated last_reviewed: 2026-03-09 owner: Legal / Compliance evidence_level: public source_urls: [] related_docs: - docs/disclosures/red-flag-response-matrix.md - docs/group/governance.md - docs/legal/oa-legal.md --- # Source References ## Facts - SwissChain PR/media references are now indexed with source links in `docs/disclosures/public-statements.md`. - External references used in market-facing statements are maintained as dated links and periodically re-validated. ## Interpretation - This file should remain a neutral source registry, while targeted clarifications are documented in dedicated disclosure notes. - Date and source discipline reduces legal and reputational risk in public communications. ## Institutional Implication - Due diligence materials should separate core institutional documentation from claim-specific clarifications. - Public messaging should avoid leading with adversarial topics while keeping evidence available and date-stamped. ## Known Gaps and Mitigations - Gap: External publications can be edited or removed after initial release. - Mitigation: Keep dated snapshots in private DD archives and re-verify links before each investor/bank process. ## Counter-Arguments and Response - Objection: "SwissChain selectively publishes references." - Response: Public statements include dated source URLs, and sensitive clarifications are maintained in dedicated disclosure notes with evidence context. ## Evidence References - Public PR and media index: `docs/disclosures/public-statements.md` - Versioning and update log: `docs/disclosures/versioning-history.md` ## Current Maturity - in progress ## Next Milestone - Owner: Legal / Compliance - Target date: 2026-03-05
