Contributor OSINT depth score
Falcon Finance's assessment for RD-F-121 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Grachev OSINT depth: 4/5 (real name, employer history, criminal record publicly documented, conference presence, extensive media coverage). Operational technical team OSINT depth: 0/5 — no other named individuals publicly associated with Falcon Finance development. Single-person concentration of verifiable identity within the protocol.
Detail #
The curator OSINT depth score should reflect the team as a whole, not just the founder. Grachev's 4/5 score is unusually high for a DeFi protocol founder (most score 2–3/5), but the fact that zero other team members are identifiable creates a concentration risk — all public accountability is vested in one person who is also simultaneously managing a conflicted entity (DWF Labs).
