Decision Postures
Proceed, review, or escalate — what each one means.
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.
