The application layer
Corngate's rule: the passport layer certifies identity, evidence and history. Anything that moves money — credit, premiums, leases, investment, credits — is a separate application with its own governance, approvals and disclosures. None are live in the pilot.
A bank reviewing a loan against a farm today receives a folder of photocopies. With passports it receives a permissioned data room: verified boundaries, claims with statuses, inspection history and an exportable report. The credit decision — and the legal charge — remain the bank's.
Underwriters price what they can observe. Monitored passports give a baseline (species, health, infrastructure, cycles) and a living feed of inspections, so products like area-yield cover can be designed on evidence rather than estimates.
Lease negotiations stall on uncertainty: who holds which interest, where boundaries run, what disputes exist. Passports put the verified state of a parcel on the table on day one — and record the lease as a claim once agreed.
A separately governed application in which verified production cycles could be co-funded under a regulated structure. Waitlist only; no investment is offered or accepted.
