Search coverage and terms

Targeted literature discovery, not a complete SSRN export or a claim that every SSRN family-office paper has been found. Direct SSRN opens returned403; indexed SSRN records used. Coverage incomplete: search engines do not guarantee exhaustive SSRN results and full paginated SSRN search was unavailable. Dates are null when a precise date-written value was not observed; posted dates are described separately. No paper is ready for CC republication from this survey. SSRN rights grants to SSRN are not grants to other publishers. No full-text download, retraction audit, peer-review certification or source-grounded agent is claimed for these directory entries. Prior queues and the entire university catalog were not available to this subtask; duplicate checking is limited to the local Family Office journal catalog.
