Direct answer
Mixer-related claims should be evaluated through criteria: source quality, claim strength, evidence boundary, legal sensitivity, public visibility, custody, and operational risk. A good criteria page helps readers decide which statements deserve caution. It does not identify the best way to perform a sensitive action.
What it means
This page is the site's reusable review model. It turns commercial-looking queries into criteria-first research so readers can understand limits, not execute a transaction.
Criteria table
| Criterion | Question |
|---|---|
| Source quality | Official, analytic, media, vendor, anonymous, or unsupported |
| Claim strength | Definition, hypothesis, allegation, measured result, legal conclusion, certainty claim |
| Evidence boundary | What the source supports and what it cannot support |
| Operational risk | Whether the wording or UI helps perform a sensitive action |
| Compliance sensitivity | Whether AML, sanctions, VASP, custody, or transfer language appears |
| Freshness | Whether the case, guidance, or policy status may have changed |
What it does not prove
A score or checklist does not provide legal advice, compliance clearance, sanctions screening, or risk-free status. It is a research aid.
Evaluation checklist
- Can the statement be rewritten as a limitation?
- Would the same wording be safe in title, meta, schema, FAQ, and CTA?
- Does the page need official sources?
- Does the page need counsel review before publication?
