## Reviewing Verification Intelligence

Before placing a commercial bid, click on any scoop card to open the **Verification Dossier**:

* **Authenticity Verdict:** Independent oracle detection confirming absence of deepfake or synthetic manipulation.
* **C2PA Manifest Details:** Hardware device credentials, capture timestamps, and camera sensor parameters.
* **Geographic Alignment:** Sensor GPS coordinates mapped against reported incident locations.

## Placing an Offer

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Make Offer Modal">
    Click **Make Offer / Acquire Licence** on the scoop detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Commercial Terms & Timers">
    * **Bid Amount:** Enter your proposed price in GBP (£). Bids must fall within platform bounds (**£5.00** minimum up to **£1,000,000.00** maximum).
    * **Offer Expiry Time:** Select an automated countdown window (**3 minutes**, **5 minutes**, **10 minutes**, **30 minutes**, or **1 hour**). If the creator does not respond within this window, the offer automatically expires and locked escrow funds return immediately to your balance.
    * **Licence Scope:** Select *Exclusive Commercial Licence* (sole rights) or *Syndication Licence* (shared editorial usage).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Lock Funds in Escrow">
    Click **Confirm & Lock in Escrow**. The required funds are verified from your agency deposit and held in secure escrow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Active Negotiations

The **Concord Dealroom** interface categorises all ongoing agency transactions:

| Section                       | Description                                              | Available Actions                                                                           |
| :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Active Bids (Under Offer)** | Offers submitted to creators with live countdown timers. | Revoke offer (returns funds immediately) or adjust bid amount.                              |
| **Counter-Proposals**         | Bids where the eyewitness has proposed a modified price. | Accept creator terms to settle immediately, or submit a revised counter-offer.              |
| **Purchased Licences**        | Fully settled media assets.                              | Access high-resolution video streams, download C2PA manifests, or export to broadcast wire. |

## Settlement and Legal Protection

The instant an eyewitness accepts your offer:

1. Smart Escrow transfers funds to the creator.
2. The transaction is notarized with an on-chain Digital Deed on Base layer-2.
3. Your organisation receives immediate commercial indemnity and the asset is permanently moved to your [Deed Vault](/terminal/deed-vault).
