What is a Due Diligence Record?

An account-scoped receipt for supported Hoist workflow events. It is not an AFSA certificate or a public verification proof.

Authenticated account receiptLast updated 2026-07-20

A Due Diligence Record is Hoist's account-scoped receipt view of supported workflow audit events. It summarises recorded lifecycle state and available evidence metadata; it is not necessarily a PDF and is not an official source artefact. Hoist PPSR preview and paid search are currently unavailable, so there is no current successful Hoist PPSR receipt or AFSA certificate.

What's in a receipt

  • The search correlation ID, register, lifecycle status, and recorded event times
  • Certificate status and hash only when an actual source artefact was recorded
  • A human-readable summary and next action derived from the recorded events
  • Account-scoped ownership without returning raw query payloads or a raw user identity

How it is retrieved

GET /v1/receipts/due-diligence is the authenticated, account-scoped receipt read. GET /v1/exports/{id} is a separate owner-bound read for a sample export PDF. The export URL retrieves the owner's artifact; it is not a public verifier, and an export must not be presented as an authenticated receipt history.

Integrity is server-side

Where an evidence object uses HMAC integrity, Hoist checks it on the server. The receipt does not provide a public or offline verification URL, a public signature, or a hash-chain proof.

What it's not

It is not an official source artefact. For a PPSR search run directly through AFSA, the AFSA certificate is authoritative. Hoist currently returns no PPSR result, certificate, or certificate hash.

Record and receipt

The API calls the account-scoped event projection a receipt. "Due Diligence Record" is the plain-language label for that history; neither term implies payment, a PDF, or independent source verification.

Related terms

  • Search certificate - The official AFSA PDF for a PPSR search run through AFSA; Hoist currently returns none.
  • Audit trail - Account-scoped, append-only events and receipts for supported Hoist workflows; not a public hash chain.
  • Asset due diligence - The process of reviewing asset and counterparty evidence before a transaction completes.

How Hoist uses this

Supported Hoist workflows append the audit events their response contract specifies. The receipt endpoint returns available account events; the legacy create_evidence_pack path instead produces a separate, owner-bound prelaunch sample export with fixture or unsearched source rows. No Hoist PPSR call currently generates a receipt, record, or certificate.
