Use case
Business plans
Certify before you share. A business plan circulates among investors, partners, and potential competitors — sometimes the same people.
The situation
One scenario, two outcomes
The same moment, depending on whether the work was timestamped or not.
The trigger
You send your plan to eighteen funds in three weeks. Two ask for an NDA, the other sixteen don't — that's standard practice at the seed stage.
Without proof
Eight months later, one of them funds a company with a strikingly similar positioning, down to the pricing model. You know what you wrote and when; you can't prove it. The conversation ends there.
With a certificate
The plan and its successive versions were certified before the first email. You can produce the date, the exact content, and priority over the exchange. That doesn't win a lawsuit, but it opens a negotiation.

The need
Wide distribution, priority over the concept, deals that fall through.
The company's most widely shared document
A plan goes out to dozens of people, often without an NDA at the early stage. Certifying it before the first email fixes the content and the date: what you had written, and when you had written it.
When the deal doesn't happen
A fund passes, then funds a competitor with a similar positioning. Without a dated record, the conversation ends there. With a certificate that predates the first exchange, it can continue on a different footing.
Every version counts
The plan evolves from a statement of intent to the Series A. Certifying each iteration preserves the trajectory of your thinking — often more convincing than the final document alone.
