Claim Property
Attaching authority without rebuilding the asset.
What This Is
Claim Property is the mechanism that connects a real person or entity to an existing property inside the system.
The property already exists as an asset.
Claiming it establishes control, not creation.
Authority is added without resetting data.
Why This Exists
Properties change hands.
Ownership transfers.
Managers rotate.
Access shifts.
In most systems, this forces recreation or manual handoff. Data fragments or disappears.
Claim Property exists to preserve continuity while changing control.
How Claiming Works
Claiming verifies a legitimate relationship to the property.
Once confirmed, the system assigns authority while preserving:
The spatial model
Service history
Material records
Active and planned projects
Nothing is overwritten.
What Gets Unlocked
After a successful claim, the claimant gains access to:
Planning and execution tools
Full project visibility
Material and service records
Permission management
The property becomes fully operable under the new authority.
Separation of Asset and Actor
Claim Property reinforces a core design principle.
Assets persist.
Actors change.
The system does not assume permanence of people, only of properties.
Operational Effects
Claiming prevents common failure modes.
No re onboarding
No loss of history
No parallel records
No data reconstruction
Control moves cleanly instead of destructively.
Strategic Role
Claim Property allows Cohos to support long lived assets across ownership cycles without losing intelligence.
This is critical for investors, portfolios, rentals, and transaction driven use cases.
