Map the included material
For a character asset, distinguish artwork, names, files and any other listed elements. Preserve uncertain authorship, permissions and dependencies instead of treating one folder as proof of complete ownership.
Review the actual transaction
Use appropriate legal and commercial review for the relevant documents and jurisdiction. No valuation or universal transfer clause is proposed here. The useful outcome is a clear account of what is supported, what remains open and which evidence the next commitment requires.
