Findings & scores
A finding is one verified observation from named sources — never speculation.
Anatomy of a finding
Risk levels
| LEVEL | MEANS |
|---|---|
| RISK: LOW | Consistent with a legitimate, established business. |
| RISK: MED | Worth a human look — an inconsistency or a gap. |
| RISK: HIGH | A material adverse fact from an authoritative source. |
Compliance
PASS / REVIEW / FAIL is the check's outcome against expectations; risk is what it implies. A check can PASS and still carry MED risk (e.g. a very young domain that is validly registered).
The two scores
Deterministic and auditable. The scores are computed from the findings list — not model output. The same findings always produce the same scores, and the score is explainable: "75, because two HIGH findings and two MED." riskScore aggregates risk levels; complianceScore starts at 100 and is reduced by failed and review-flagged checks.
Confidence vs. scores
confidence is about how well the investigation covered the entity (sources answered, claims corroborated). The scores are about what was found. A thin record can yield high risk with low confidence — read both.
