Custody

Custody tracks who possesses, controls or is responsible for the asset over time. This is useful for letters, weapons, evidence folders, heirlooms, keys, vehicles and any item where possession matters.

Use it to avoid continuity errors. If a character gives away a document in Chapter 8, they should not still have it in Chapter 10 unless the story shows how it came back.

Example

An evidence folder might begin with the police, pass to a solicitor, be stolen by a suspect and finally return to the protagonist. Custody tracking keeps that chain visible.
