Remove uncertainty and difficulty
You don't always need both SoW and SoF. But when you do, our solution obtains them, associates them to the case and stores them in our pre-verified entity ecosystem for future use. If SoW / SoF is from new wealth types, such as NFTs or crypto, we deal with that too.
