6.2.8.1 All instruments presented at Track IV pitch or demo events must:
Include CID, SID, licensing metadata, and risk tier;
Reference contributor roles and DEAP structure;
Be simulated and certified prior to investor voting;
Be uploaded into ClauseCommons for preview at least 5 days prior to public event.
6.2.8.2 Unauthorized or non-compliant instruments are automatically barred from GRF track proceedings.
