Run — primary gates

Regulation

• Which bodies have jurisdiction over blockchain, digital assets, payments, and data for this play in this cluster?
• What licensing, registration, or sandbox pathways exist today for this use case — and which are theoretical only?
• What is the current posture on stablecoins / crypto payments where this play needs them: permitted, restricted, prohibited, or unclear?
• How do data-protection and public-chain transparency rules interact for this play?
• What public-procurement rules would shape or block a government-facing version of this play?
• What FX or capital-control rules affect settlement or off-ramps for this play?
• Where must specialist local counsel be engaged before any go / conditional-go call on this play?

Use cases

• Is the regulatory path for this use case comparatively clear, blocked, or contested in this cluster?
• Have any blockchain or digital-asset pilots close to this play been approved, rejected, or left in limbo — and on what grounds?

Infrastructure

• Which compliance artifacts (KYC/AML, licensing proofs, SLAs) are non-negotiable before this play can run?
• Does identity / KYC infrastructure in this market support this play, or is it a hard dependency?

Run — secondary gates

Counterparties

• Who are the practical gatekeepers for non-objection or approval on this play?
• How reachable are they for an external ecosystem actor within 12–24 months?

Regions

• Relative to peer jurisdictions, is this cluster more or less workable for this use case — and why?

Cross-RFP / adjacent issues

• Which blockers of this play are pure regulatory/legal vs product, liquidity, or delivery-partner problems that belong elsewhere?

Adoption (if a signal appears)

• Propose a CASS tier and evidence rationale — do not upgrade on intent alone.
