Genealogy — Tele-Lawyer → Davi Skin
Scope: two adjacent shell lineages that recur across the Cane-catalog fingerprints — the Tele-Lawyer / Dynamic Associates / Legal Access Technologies identity churn on CIK 878146 (linked by the Cane control-person on CIK 1144030), and the MW Medical → Davi Skin reverse-merger on CIK 1059577.
Tickers (OTC): LGAL (878146), DAVN (1059577).
Why grouped: both are precrime-positive on raw EDGAR structure alone, and both illustrate the two highest-weight heuristics in the catalog — name_recycling and reverse_merger_chain (w3 each).
Cross-shell diagram
formerNames renames on a single CIK (A) and 8-K reverse-merger emergence (B); the descending arrow on the right of A is the common control-person link — CIK 1144030 is Kyleen E. Cane (an individual), whose SC 13D names Legal Access Technologies as subject issuer, filed through the same EDGAR agent (0001255294) that prepared Davi Skin / MW Medical's filings.Timeline

Key events
- Identity churn on one CIK (878146). Three corporate names on a single registrant — Tele-Lawyer, Dynamic Associates, Legal Access Technologies — is the canonical
name_recyclingsignal (formerNames[].length ≥ 2, w3). The Cane catalog's heuristic #1 is literally seeded from this lineage. - Reverse-merger emergence (1059577). The MW Medical → Davi Skin transition runs the textbook 8-K 5.06 → 2.01 → 5.03 sequence — change of shell control, completion of acquisition, change of fiscal year / bylaws. Catalog heuristic #3 (
reverse_merger_chain, w3) names "MW Medical / Davi Skin shell-traffic" as its exemplar. - SIC drift across both. 878146 drifts off its legal-services origin; 1059577 lands in cosmetics (SIC 2844) from a medical-device origin. Two independent
sic_code_drifttrips (w2 each). - Going dark, then common control. LATI files nothing after 2006-08-30 yet trades into 2008 (
going_dark_blackout+shell_reactivation). The cross-CIK thread is not a name recycle: CIK 1144030 is the natural person Kyleen E. Cane, whose SC 13D (2001–02, co-filed by Michael A. Cane) names Legal Access Technologies as subject issuer. The same EDGAR filing agent (0001255294) prepared filings for both LATI and Davi Skin / MW Medical — acommon_control+ shared-filer-agent fingerprint that single-CIKformerNamesanalysis would miss. - Offshore + paper-equity offerings. Both lineages fund through exemptions and convertible paper: MW Medical's early Reg D placements (2001–02) precede Davi Skin's Reg S sales to four foreign investors (2005, later questioned by SEC staff); LATI and Davi each issue convertible promissory notes ($140k @ $0.07 and the $570,775 Wallace note @ $0.20). Each registration carries an Ex-5 opinion of counsel (
opinion_letter_presence).
Detailed precrime case (continues)
The two lineages are scored independently in the companion case files, each with full per-heuristic tables and lead-time analysis:
- Lineage A —
case-04-lati.md: CIK 878146 chronology, 16-row scoring, Cane control-person link (CIK 1144030). - Lineage B —
case-05-davi.md: CIK 1059577 reverse-merger detail, 16-row scoring, lead time. - Market confirmation —
stock-davi.md: zoomable price + volume chart with event markers, dislocation/confirmation tables (DAVN, LGAL).
Reading the lineages together
The catalog was authored from 2001–2010 Cane facts. Run forward against raw submissions JSON, both CIKs trip before any enforcement footprint: A on its second rename, B on the first 8-K 5.06. Neither requires body-text — the structural pass alone clears the τ = 3 gate with n_sig ≥ 2. The market data (companion page) then supplies the independent confirmation dimension: volume dislocations on DAVN line up with the post-reverse-merger float, exactly where the structural model predicts informed trading.
