Methodology

Process, not opinion.

Every report runs the same 97 checks. This page documents them — so anyone can audit our work, and so our verdicts stand up as process, not personal claims.

The score

Each scheme scores 0–100 risk points across three groups. Points are added only when a check fails with cited evidence — a clean check adds nothing.

  • Smart contract — 45 pts. Referral payout structures, guaranteed-return functions, liquidity locks, mint and owner permissions. Read from verified on-chain code and transactions.
  • Business & website — 25 pts. Domain age, entity registration (MCA and equivalents), cloned-template matching, compensation-plan math.
  • Founders — 30 pts. Identity verification, background, and links to past shut-down projects under any name.

The bands

  • 0–30 · Low. No material red flags on our checklist. Not a recommendation — all investing carries risk.
  • 31–70 · Caution. Real concerns found. Read the flags before deciding anything.
  • 71–100 · High. Critical failures. Historically, most schemes scoring here stopped paying within 12 months.

What “evidence” means

Every flag links to something you can verify yourself: a contract address and line number, a transaction hash, a registry record, an archived page. A finding without a citation is not published.

Re-scans

Full dossiers are re-scanned quarterly while a scheme is active. Material changes update the score and append to the report’s public update log — the old score stays visible.

Corrections

Factual errors can be corrected with proven evidence. The correction, the evidence, and the original finding all remain on the page. See the no-delete policy.
