# 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.
