Platform Documentation
The technical and operational guide for approved Blueprint Architects — platform onboarding, security configuration (2FA, recovery codes, sessions), and feature guides for the research archive, Sovereign Ledger, feed, messaging, and verification.
Platform Documentation
This documentation covers the Blueprint Platform — the technical and operational guide for approved Blueprint Architects setting up, accessing, and using the platform's features. It covers platform architecture, security configuration, feature guides, and the technical requirements for optimal platform use.
The documentation assumes you are an approved Blueprint Architect with active platform credentials. If you have not yet applied for Blueprint, visit the application page. If you have been approved and have not yet set up your platform access, begin with the Onboarding section below.
Platform Support
For technical issues not resolved by this documentation, contact platform@YOUR-DOMAIN.com. Blueprint Architects experiencing access issues should include their registered email and a description of the issue. Response time: 1 business day.
Onboarding
Platform Login
Navigate to platform/login. Enter the email address on your Blueprint application and the password you set during application. If you did not set a password during application, use the "Forgot password?" link to set one via your registered email.
Identity Verification
On first login, you will be prompted to verify your contact details via email or mobile number. Complete this step to unlock full platform access. Verification is required for all new accounts.
Two-Factor Authentication
Once logged in, enable 2FA through your profile settings. 2FA is required for Verified Member Area access. Use Google Authenticator, Authy, or any TOTP-compatible authenticator app. Save your recovery codes immediately after enabling 2FA.
Profile Completion
Complete your platform profile — including bio, role, organisation, and social links. Your profile is visible to other Blueprint Architects on the network. A complete profile improves your visibility for co-investment opportunities and network connections.
Explore the Platform
From the dashboard, navigate to: Feed (network posts and deal flow), Research (full archive access), Messages (direct messaging), and Deal Flow (co-investment opportunities). The Sovereign Ledger is accessible from the main navigation.
Security Configuration
2FA / MFA
Two-Factor Authentication
Required for Verified access
Enable via Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app or enter the setup key manually. Confirm with a 6-digit code from your app. Save recovery codes — these are the only way to access your account if you lose your authenticator device.
Recovery Codes
Backup Access
Save securely — shown once
After enabling 2FA, generate recovery codes via Settings → Security → Recovery Codes. Each code can be used once to bypass 2FA. Store them offline, encrypted, and in multiple locations. Recovery codes are shown only once and cannot be retrieved if lost.
Session Management
Active Sessions
Settings → Security
Review and terminate active sessions from Settings → Security → Active Sessions. If you see an unrecognised session, terminate it immediately and contact platform@YOUR-DOMAIN.com.
Password
Password Security
Strong passphrase recommended
Use a passphrase of at least 16 characters combining words, numbers, and symbols. Do not reuse this password on other services. Change your password via Settings → Security → Reset Password or via the forgot password flow on the login page.
Feature Guide
Research Archive
Full text access to all 247 SGE research papers. Use the search function to find papers by title, keyword, or reference number. Papers are organised by series and category. Sidebar navigation on individual papers links to related papers in the same series.
Sovereign Ledger
The deployment intelligence system. Create counterparty records, log deal flow, record market intelligence, and maintain the IC decision record. All data is private to your account. Export to PDF for offline use or IC meeting preparation.
Feed and Posts
Post insights, deal updates, and market intelligence to the Blueprint network. Use the Deal Flow post type for co-investment opportunities. All posts are visible to approved Blueprint Architects. Posts persist and can be liked, commented on, and shared within the platform.
Direct Messaging
Send private messages to other Blueprint Architects directly. Initiate from the Messages section or from an Architect's profile page. Messages are end-to-end encrypted and not accessible to SGE staff.
Verification
Apply for the Verified Badge from your profile page. Requires government ID (front and back) and facial biometric capture. Review takes up to 48 hours. Verified status is displayed next to your name on all platform activity.
