15–25% Contingency on recovered funds — never hourly

The most rigorous settlement-recovery engine for the long tail of institutional investors.

We ingest trade data, match against every settled and open securities, antitrust, and global-collective action, compute recognized loss under each plan of allocation, file every eligible proof of claim before the bar date, and deliver recovered dollars plus an audit-defensible filing register. AI is the internal engine; a qualified claims analyst is the authorized filing-agent chokepoint.

Why recoveries fail

A single missed bar date can forfeit thousands — or millions.

Every year billions of dollars of securities-litigation settlement money is left on the table because eligible investors never file a proof of claim. Filing is pure document-and-data work: match trades to a class period, run the recognized-loss formula in the plan of allocation, attach broker records, file before the bar date. The largest, most sophisticated funds already outsource this to specialist filers on contingency — but the long tail of smaller institutions does not, because incumbents court whales and the smaller portfolios looked uneconomic to onboard one at a time.

AI collapses exactly the cost that kept the long tail unserved: ingesting messy custodial transaction files, normalizing CUSIPs/tickers across corporate actions, matching against hundreds of concurrent global settlements, and computing recognized loss per idiosyncratic allocation plans. Do that with an internal engine and a thin layer of qualified human review, and you can profitably recover for a $400M RIA or a corporate treasury that a 900-client incumbent never bothered to chase.

The buyer's motivation is not just found money — it is a fiduciary duty: advisers and plan fiduciaries are generally obligated to file proofs of claim unless doing so is futile or imprudent. We sell the outcome (recovered dollars + a clean file), keep a licensed/qualified analyst as the authorized filing agent, and get cheaper and broader as models improve and as we add antitrust, opt-out monitoring, and international regimes.

The benchmark

Measured against the letter of the settlement — subsection by subsection.

We do not summarize the law and hope. Every pack is scored against a versioned rule pack tied to the exact text of the court-approved plan of allocation. These are the provisions each pack is held to.

Plan of Allocation §A

Recognized-loss formula

Every transaction's recognized loss is computed deterministically per the court-approved formula — FIFO/LIFO elections, corporate-action adjustments, and partial-exclusion rules applied consistently.

Class Period §B

Class-period matching

Every trade is matched against the class period with exact date boundaries; trades outside are excluded, partial-period holdings are prorated per the plan.

Eligibility §C

Entity & account aggregation

Related accounts and entities are aggregated per the plan's definition of 'beneficial owner' — no double-counting, no missed shares.

Bar Date §D

Bar-date compliance

Every proof of claim is filed before the bar date; the filing register timestamps each submission and confirms receipt.

Documentation §E

Broker-record attachment

All required broker confirmations, account statements, and trade blotters are attached in the format specified by the claims administrator.

Jurisdiction §F

International & opt-out monitoring

For non-US settlements, jurisdictional registration and legalization requirements are checked; opt-out deadlines are tracked separately.

How a recovery is built

Intake to specialist release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.

AI extracts and drafts. Deterministic rules — running as code, outside the model — decide what is complete. A human specialist signs every release. That order is never reversed.

01

Recovery Gap Scan

Upload trade data and we return a free completeness read: which settlements you are eligible for, which are missing, and what documentation is needed.

02

Data ingestion & normalization

We ingest custodial transaction files, normalize CUSIPs/tickers across splits/mergers, and build a unified trade history.

03

Settlement matching

Every settled and open securities, antitrust, and global-collective action is matched against the trade history; eligibility is computed per each plan of allocation.

04

Deterministic loss computation

Recognized loss is computed per the court-approved formula; amounts reconcile to the penny; any edge case blocks release.

05

Specialist release

A qualified claims analyst reviews the exception queue and signs the release. High-value or complex settlements route to attorney review first.

06

Delivery

You receive the filing register, proof-of-claim copies, broker-record attachments, and recovered dollars — plus an audit-defensible file.

Why Settlement Recovery Engine

Built to be the most thorough option an institutional investor has.

Documentation-complete, by design

The deliverable is completeness itself — every statutory element and search accounted for or explicitly exception-coded. Nothing is left implicit.

Deterministic, not vibes

The gates that decide completeness are code, not a model's opinion. A drafting error cannot slip past a statutory requirement.

In its lane, on purpose

We prepare documentation and run searches as your clerical agent. We never contact the vessel owner, give legal advice, or conduct the sale.

Engagement

Flat fee, per released pack. No contingency, ever.

Simple, predictable, and aligned with a documentation standard — not a cut of any recovery.

  • A free Delinquency Gap Scan before you commit — see exactly what is missing.
  • One flat fee per released Notice Completeness Pack; disclosed pass-through search fees.
  • Optional fixed-fee attorney review for high-value or federally documented vessels.
  • Optional Sale Continuity Add-on for the advertisement and sale-day exhibits, pre-dated to your 60-day window.
FAQ

Questions, answered precisely.

Is SlipLienClear a law firm?
No. SlipLienClear, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides documentation-completeness services. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent you in any legal matter. Attorney review is available and recommended for high-value or federally documented vessels.
Do you contact the boat owner or collect the debt?
Never. SlipLienClear is not a debt collector and does not contact vessel owners or debtors. The marina remains the lien claimant and the party responsible for sending all notices and conducting any sale.
What makes a pack 'complete'?
Completeness is defined by the statute: the five §328.17(5)(b) notice elements present, the 60-day window verified, the a–e lien searches resolved or exception-coded, identity corroborated, and SCRA screened. Deterministic gates enforce each one before release.
How fast is it?
The standard SLA is five business days from complete intake to a specialist-released pack. The free Gap Scan is returned much sooner and tells you exactly what is still needed.
How are you priced?
A flat fee per released pack, plus disclosed pass-through search costs. No contingency and no percentage of any recovered amount or sale proceeds.
