What this video covers
- The inverse relationship between eligibility difficulty and filing burden across all three registration methods
- Why registration by filing requires federal registration and strict financial tests but imposes minimal paperwork
- How registration by coordination serves as the middle ground for dual federal-state registrations
- Why registration by qualification has zero eligibility restrictions but demands 17 exhaustive filing categories
- The critical distinction that only qualification becomes effective by Administrator order, while filing and coordination piggyback federal automatic effectiveness
- The specific time periods: 5 business days on file for filing, 10 days on file plus 2 business days for price amendments for coordination, and 1 year registration duration for all methods
- How to apply the two-step decision tree: first ask if federal registration exists, then ask if strict financial tests are met
