Transaction Shield — Certified Live Transaction Witness & Safety Certificate

Transaction Shield — one live, remote, recorded transaction-witness session that proves (timestamped + notarized optional) who did what, when, verifies identities, documents secure payment flows, and delivers a tamper‑evident “Transaction Safety Certificate” so families/consumers can close high‑value private deals without getting fraud‑blindsided.

Buyer: consumers or families selling or buying high‑value items privately (cars, domains, collectibles, vacation rentals, vehicle-title transfers, estate asset transfers) or making high‑risk one‑off payments (deposit wires, marketplace sales).
Urgent problem: rising wire/online‑transaction fraud means a single mistake can cost $5k–$50k+ and is emotionally traumatic. People lack on‑demand, trustworthy help to verify identity, payment, and transfer steps in real time.

From anxious and exposed (fear of losing large sum) to confident and defensible: they get a legally useful, time‑stamped record (recording + file hash + optional RON notarization) plus an action checklist that materially reduces fraud risk and provides evidence for banks/police/escrow if something goes wrong.

Pre‑session risk intake (20–30 min).
Live video session (60–120 min): identity proofing, screen‑share of payment/transfer, step‑by‑step secure routing, recording of session.
Post‑session package: MP4 recording, SHA‑256 file hash + blockchain/timeproof timestamp (TimeProof), short written Transaction Safety Certificate, optional remote notary stamp (Notarize).
Fully remote; hands‑on pickup not required. Uses off‑the‑shelf video, RON & timestamping APIs.

Price: CAD 1,750 (standard) — CAD 2,500 (rush/complex or includes notarization).
Variable costs per sale (assumptions): Notarize fee $25 (if used), TimeProof anchoring ~$10, cloud storage/transcription $5, payment processing 3% (~$52 at $1,750), ad/lead $100–$200 (assume $150). Total variable ≈ CAD 300. Contribution per unit ≈ CAD 1,450 at CAD 1,750.
Fulfillment time: 3.0–4.5 hours total (intake + live session + admin). Contribution per 8‑hour equivalent day ≈ CAD 1,450 if you deliver one job/day — meets the CAD 1,000/day target on reasonable assumptions.

Strong consumer willingness to pay for transaction safety: escrow services and escrow fees show people will pay to protect large transactions (Escrow.com fee calculator). https://www.escrow.com/fee-calculator. (escrow.com)
