Narrative analysis
- When evaluating Custos as a partner/investor/operator, the competitive comparison is less about features and more about:
  - Track record visibility (exits, audited outcomes)
  - Transparency of governance and legal entity status
  - Ability to provide references
  - Stability and reputational risk
- Custos’ public footprint is fragmented and the requested official domain is currently inaccessible, which is a major disadvantage relative to established firms with clear, maintained web presence and published portfolio/teams.
