Research, firm shelf, model-client eligibility, and advisor selection are recorded separately. The scheduled date is the outside bound; new evidence can reopen the file sooner.

Flock Credit (Ravenhood) is outside the current firm shelf because its structure maps to the rejected-chain policy class. This is a firm-policy classification, not an adverse quality rating and not a client trade instruction. The factual mechanism, control, loss, and exit evidence is retained below.

The research file

Mechanism and applicability

Flock Credit is a lending market by Ravenhood whose only tracked pool is a USDG supply market on Robinhood Chain (about $70,000 at review, $339,000 of reported protocol TVL). Supplying USDG earns borrower interest; the position depends on Robinhood Chain for settlement and exit.

Control and incident boundary

The registry’s Robinhood Chain grade records one sequencer operated by Offchain Labs on Robinhood’s behalf, two permissioned validators, an emergency council path, and a transaction-filtering precompile that can reject L1 force-included transactions. Ravenhood’s own page carries no terms, audits, or entity disclosure that would change that dependency.

Exit and current measurement

A supplier redeems USDG from the market only while it has cash and only through Robinhood Chain’s bridge, whose force-inclusion backstop the filter can defeat.

Firm shelf classification

The rejected-chain class is outside the current firm shelf. Research describes the product; firm policy determines shelf eligibility; client constraints determine the candidate set; and the advisor alone selects any action or amount.

Sources

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls

The research above describes the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The most administered layer sets the position’s effective control grade; that is a control description, not a quality or suitability score.
