    How we review

    The LPCP methodology in plain language. How a project moves from "observed" to "published", who signs it, and how it can be corrected.

    Three states — no numeric scores

    We deliberately reject 1–10 ratings. They create false precision and can be weaponised in marketing.

    Healthy

    Registered entity, no major red flags, transparent operations.

    Caution

    Multiple unclarities. Not necessarily bad, but proceed with eyes open.

    We advise against

    Documented serious issues — investigations, bankruptcies, broken promises, unverifiable claims.

    Not yet reviewed

    Projects we have observed but not yet finished evaluating. Absence of a status is not endorsement.

    The 8-point protocol

    1. Legal entity — registered company, jurisdiction, directors.
    2. Licences & permits — CASP/MiCA, MSB, VASP where required.
    3. Team history — verifiable track record, prior projects, prior outcomes.
    4. Independent reviews — third-party critiques, security audits, on-chain analyses.
    5. Custody — who holds the keys, are user funds segregated.
    6. Domain & communication hygiene — domain age, WHOIS, professional tone, decision pressure.
    7. Yield promises — realistic, disclosed source vs. "guaranteed" / "risk-free".
    8. Exit paths — can the user withdraw, in what timeframe, under what rules.

    From observation to publication

    1. Trigger — community report, public controversy, official complaint, or personal experience.
    2. Evidence gathering — registry extracts, archived sources, news coverage, on-chain data.
    3. Protocol pass — apply the 8 points; note where evidence is strong, weak, or missing.
    4. Tone check — separate facts from views. Personal observations are explicitly framed as views.
    5. Status assignment — healthy, caution or we advise against. Each requires written justification.
    6. Publish — signed, dated, with source links and Right of Reply visible on the page.

    What we do NOT do

    Right of Reply

    Every project we review can respond. Send verifiable facts and we will update the page with a visible changelog entry. If we got something wrong, we say so — in writing, dated, in public.

    LPCP is a community initiative, not a registered agency or regulator. Reviews are community opinion guided by the 8-point protocol — not legal, tax or financial advice. Personal observations are framed as views, not absolute claims.
