This version adds a contributor rights-and-authority declaration, supporting-evidence workflow and signed personalized PDF. The framework remains a compliance and governance baseline; it does not certify ownership, guarantee universal legal compliance or replace advice from qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
1. Protected-work onboarding
A contributor supplies the protected work together with the rights, provenance and licensing records relevant to the portfolio. Atlantic records the protected-work and authority file under controlled workspace safeguards.
2. Monitoring and documented review
Authorized monitoring establishes traceable observations across covered public online sources. Findings are reviewed against the protected-work record, authority, licensing context and relevant publication history before case classification.
3. Preservation and traceability
Relevant public URLs, dates, captures, preserved copies and technical integrity identifiers may be retained in the case record. These elements are documented together so the observed use and handling history remain traceable.
4. Human case classification
A reviewer assesses the protected-work record, authority, licence context, responsible entity, source reliability and observed use before consequential external correspondence or case progression.
5. Case progression
When a matter remains unresolved, Atlantic selects the appropriate next step from the documented case record. Depending on the facts, authority, jurisdiction and applicable law, progression may include recipient engagement, platform or service-provider procedures, amicable resolution, referral to qualified counsel and proceedings before a competent authority or court.
6. Payments and retroactive licences
A retroactive licence is issued only after the responsible person, image, scope, period, territory, amount and verified payment are recorded. Its certificate reflects the precise regularization terms accepted for the identified use.
7. Independent legal and platform decision-making
Atlantic administers the rights and case record under documented authority. Platforms, qualified counsel, competent authorities and courts apply their own rules to the matters submitted to them, including any judicial remedy or compulsory measure.
