01 — Chain of title
Sovereignty to today, in one unbroken line.
Every instrument is entered once with its volume and page, the interest it moved, and the owners on either side of it. Corva walks the chain forward and tells you what the mineral estate looks like right now — including the severances, the probates, and the 1979 lease nobody ever released.

02 — Division of interest
The math a division order analyst actually has to defend.
Overrides & burdens
ORRIs, retained overrides on assignment, NPRIs and proportionate reduction are carried as first-class burdens against the working interest, never mixed into the lessor royalty.
Tract participation
Pooling designations and allocation wells reduce every decimal by the tract's acreage contribution to the unit — computed, never typed in by hand.
Curative & suspense
Defects raised anywhere in the chain follow the interest forward, hold the money in suspense, and tell the analyst precisely which instrument will release it.
Exact rational math
Interests are stored as fractions and computed with BigInt rationals. 1/3 stays 1/3 — decimals are only rendered at the last possible moment, to eight places.
Division order output
Produce a signature-ready division order, a runsheet, and a check detail that reconciles to the operator's revenue statement to the cent.
03 — Payout run
A check run you can hand to the auditor.
Corva prices the unit, applies the royalty, splits it across every owner decimal with a largest-remainder allocation, then withholds severance tax and permitted post-production deductions per the lease language. Pennies always re-sum to the total.
