Decision Postures

Every analysis returns a decision posture. This is the engine's recommendation for what to do with the wallet. There are three:

Proceed with normal caution, the engine sees no dominant adverse drivers under the current coverage. You can treat this case as routine. Most clean wallets land here.

Review before proceeding, the case is not an automatic stop, but the current signal mix or confidence level is not strong enough to treat it as routine. A human should look at it before any decision is made. This is the most common decision posture for medium-risk wallets, low-confidence wallets, or wallets with structural patterns that warrant context.

Escalate for deeper review, sensitive exposure or materially adverse signal composition is strong enough to justify deeper investigation. This fires for high-risk tier, sanctions exposure, mixer attribution, or combinations of co-occurring high-severity adverse signals.

The decision posture is independent of the raw score in some cases. A wallet with low confidence and a fan-out distribution pattern might score 76 but still be tagged "review" because the structural pattern requires interpretation. A wallet with confirmed sanctions exposure will always escalate, even if the raw score before caps was higher.
