Case 04 — Legal Access Technologies (LATI / LGAL)
CIK: 878146 Ticker (OTC): LGAL Common control: CIK 1144030 — Kyleen E. Cane (individual), SC 13D on LATI, 2001–02 (co-filer Michael A. Cane) Lineage: Tele-Lawyer, Inc. → Dynamic Associates → Legal Access Technologies SIC (origin): legal / business services — drifts off origin across the name churn

Summary
CIK 878146 is the seed lineage for Cane catalog heuristic #1 (name_recycling). A single registrant carries three corporate names — Tele-Lawyer → Dynamic Associates (EDGAR formerNames from 1996-11-18) → Legal Access Technologies (from 2001-05-15) — drifts its SIC off the legal-services origin, raises capital through a convertible promissory note and an S-8 (with an Ex-5 opinion), files nothing after 2006 while the stock keeps trading OTC into 2008. The cross-CIK thread is common control, not a name recycle: CIK 1144030 is the natural person Kyleen E. Cane, whose SC 13D names this issuer, filed through the same EDGAR agent (0001255294) that prepared Davi Skin / MW Medical's filings. Every structural signal here is visible on the SEC EDGAR submissions JSON; the offering/note/opinion signals are confirmed in the filing bodies.

Headline structural score: 26 / 38 (EDGAR full-text-confirmed pass; accessions in _edgar-facts-davi-lati.md).
Distinct firing heuristics (n_sig): 10 → clears the n_sig ≥ 2 gate.
Tier: score 26 ≥ 10 → Tier 1 (daily review).
Precrime lead time
- Earliest trip date: 1996-11-18 (first rename Tele-Lawyer → Dynamic Associates trips
name_recycling+sic_code_drift). - Last EDGAR signal: 2006-08-30 going dark; the Cane SC 13D common-control link runs 2001–02 (and Cane Form 4s on CIK 1144030 continue to 2013).
- Lead time: the lineage is flagged from its first rename, a decade before the going-dark blackout that closes the structural record — and the
filer_agent_overlap+ common-control link to Davi Skin is what a single-CIK view would never connect.
Cane-scheme pattern match
LATI is the origin exemplar of the catalog, not merely a match to it:
- It is the named seed for heuristic #1 (
name_recycling) inREADME.md. - Its going-dark pattern (15-series silence on 878146 while the stock trades) plus the common control-person thread — Kyleen / Michael Cane filing SC 13D via CIK 1144030, and the shared filing agent
0001255294that also prepared Davi Skin's documents — is the cross-CIK case that motivated tracking control and filer-agent across registrants, not justformerNameswithin one. - The same fingerprints — identity churn, SIC drift, late-filer cluster, going dark, convertible-note + opinion-letter capital raises — recur on the 2024–2026 cases (RTSL, GP Solutions), confirming the catalog generalizes forward from these 2001–2010 facts.
