Reviewed quarter and operating handover

Associate upload exercise

1. Sign in as preparer. Select the registered fund and quarter; confirm borrower, security and holding identities before importing.
2. Upload the investment schedule, cash activity and trial balance with source references and declared complete population. Preview mapping, amounts and unresolved rows. Correct the source or mapping before posting.
3. Have an independent reviewer compare the source and approve the intake. Re-importing the same file must return the existing receipt.
4. Compute and review the quarter. Follow the close checklist to missing evidence, unsupported instruments and reconciliation differences. Explain mark changes using dated sources and reviewer judgment; unresolved explanations remain labelled.
5. Have the independent reviewer confirm the current reconciled capital result and close the quarter. Open its issued credit / board pack. PDF, workbook and screen show the same version and amounts in USD.
6. For a later source correction, retain the new evidence and prepare a controlled correction. Another reviewer approves the replacement. Retrieve both originals and replacements; resolve affected later-quarter holds. Never overwrite an issued pack.

Training completion requires the associate to repeat this exercise and a named owner to record the date and result. This guide alone is not evidence of completion.

Client IT responsibilities

The client owns the data and receives perpetual deployment rights. NSigma support is optional; hosting, database, backups, security updates, identity and third-party services remain operating responsibilities and costs. Perpetual deployment rights do not imply source-code ownership.

Maintain a dedicated client environment and named preparer/reviewer/read-only access. Keep credentials outside source control; restrict exports and backups as client financial data. Back up PostgreSQL, which contains retained uploads and artifacts, and separately preserve deployment configuration and secrets in the client's controlled vault. Keep the administrator's originals as the system of record.

Agree retention, recovery time and recovery point objectives, backup encryption/off-site storage, key rotation, patch ownership and escalation contacts. Before an upgrade, take a backup, rehearse migrations on a disposable copy and verify retained issued downloads. Never reseed a book containing uploads. Exercise recovery before accepting an upgrade or handover.

Guarded local recovery rehearsal

From the isolated checkout, run node scripts/rehearse-client-recovery.mjs. It accepts no target overrides. It checks practice ownership, takes a consistent read-only snapshot, and restores into a uniquely named new database on the owned local container. It refuses existing destinations and never restores over practice or presentation.

The command reports the private receipt location. Compare its source/destination identities, row counts and content hashes, including retained financial and artifact bytes. Retain the dump and receipt under the client-approved retention policy. The disposable database and private dump remain for inspection; cleanup is a separately controlled operator action.

This proves the exercised local logical recovery only. Client infrastructure, secret recovery, off-site backups, failover, security assessment and client recovery objectives need a separate witnessed rehearsal.

Acceptance and remaining gates

Financial owner: compare the agreed completed quarter with the administrator's source, record differences, accepted scope and sign-off. Client IT: witness restore, access setup, upgrade and incident procedures. Associate: demonstrate upload and correction. Record actual names, dates and evidence in the client acceptance record; blank fields are not approvals.

Live email remains disabled. Form 1031 live-export approval remains gated pending administrator-reviewed historical evidence and accepted edition/license format. Partner capital schedules, dated equity XIRR and the full LP pack remain unavailable pending separately accepted Sprint 4 work.
