Most clients adopt one of three cadences. Your technician recommends a rhythm based on device count, co-signer availability, and how long since your last confirmed unlock.

Standard cadence framework

Q1 · January–March

Primary device verification. Firmware check. Binder stamp. Test transaction to self-controlled address.

Q2 · April–June

Secondary device or backup path verification. Co-signer attendance if multi-sig.

Q3 · July–September

Primary device re-check. Backup card condition inspection. Appendix sleeve review.

Q4 · October–December

Full inventory reconciliation. Next-year schedule printed. Heir briefing if inheritance binder active.
