Questions that should change the decision
- What hardware and connectivity are required?
- What are the recurring operating costs and replacement cycles?
- Is there verified demand beyond token incentives?
- What happens when utilization or rewards decline?
Evidence standard
Prefer dated technical documentation, legal terms, operator requirements, audited reports, governance records, and directly observable product utility. Separate provider claims from independent evidence and record assumptions that could change the outcome.
Commercial transparency
