It does not connect to a provider, inspect a wallet, run a model, compare prices, verify access, or recommend a product.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use it<\/h2>\n<p>Choose whether the job is research or an execution path. Choose whether official docs or access rules matter most. Then say whether you will do a manual check. Select the button and read the live result.<\/p>\n<p>Write down the real question before you use the selector. Do not enter an address, secret, client record, private key, seed phrase, or API key. The controls need only broad workflow choices.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to read the output<\/h2>\n<p>A research result tells you to start with an official-source question and define the evidence that could change your view. An execution result adds access, test, error, and ownership checks. An access choice adds a reminder to confirm region, rights, and terms.<\/p>\n<p>If you say that you need a review list, the output places that step first. It does not judge your skill. It prevents an automated path from starting without a human check.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h2>\n<p>The method is a visible decision tree. The goal choice selects research or execution copy. The control choice adds a docs or access step. The review choice decides whether a checklist comes first. There are no weights, vendor scores, hidden data, or model calls.<\/p>\n<p>Because each result comes from the three controls, another reader can reproduce it. The selector does not claim that one workflow will make a better trade or a more accurate prediction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worked example<\/h2>\n<p>A developer wants to use an address-label API in a small internal script. The goal is execution. Access rules matter most. The developer needs a review checklist.<\/p>\n<p>The output says to make the checklist first, then confirm narrow access, a safe test path, error handling, and ownership. It also says to confirm current rights and terms. The developer can then test one known public address without exposing a secret.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limits, privacy, and safety<\/h2>\n<p>The selector cannot test a label, API, alert, or chain. It cannot tell whether a provider is available in a region. It does not read privacy terms or save proof. It cannot detect a false model answer.<\/p>\n<p>Check important results against raw chain records or another primary source. Keep API keys in a secret store. Treat wallet labels as leads, not proof of identity or intent. Use approved legal and compliance systems for regulated work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next steps<\/h2>\n<p>For Nansen, read the API introduction and the endpoint that matches your job. For Arkham, read the Intel API material and a current product note. For a custom metric, inspect Dune documentation and query logic.<\/p>\n<p>Save the provider, page, date, chain, address or query, filters, and result. Record what was checked by a person. Stop if a key fact cannot be traced.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does this tool use AI?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The preserved module is a simple browser decision tree.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it recommend Nansen or Arkham?<\/h3>\n<p>No. It recommends a type of next check, not a vendor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it save my choices?<\/h3>\n<p>The module does not submit a form. Still, do not enter private data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is there no score?<\/h3>\n<p>The visible choices lead to tasks. There is no evidence-based reason to convert them into a number.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A safe way to repeat the check<\/h2>\n<p>Run the selector once with your current answers. Save the words in the output, not private data. Change one answer and run it again. Only the matching part of the next step should change.<\/p>\n<p>If the result does not match the visible choices, stop and reload the page. Do not use the output as proof that an account, provider, or record is safe. The tool is a prompt for a human review.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the check when you add a source, change a permission, move from research to production, or find a missing record. The value is the next action, not a permanent badge.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What would change this decision<\/h2>\n<p>The next-step text should change only when the visible decision tree or a safety rule changes. A provider launch alone does not require a new result.<\/p>\n<p>A change is not accepted from a headline alone. Open the primary page, note the date, and repeat the hard case. Keep the old finding until the new result can be checked. If the change affects only one region, plan, chain, or platform, say so rather than rewriting the whole verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Readers should also revisit the choice when their own job changes. A tool selected for a quick view may be wrong for an audit trail. A tool selected for one public address may be wrong for a team API. Fit belongs to the task, so the update record must name the task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AI Crypto Research Workflow Selector Use this lightweight checklist to frame your next research step.
