Real-capital social-engineering persona
M^0's assessment for RD-F-184 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Insider-build AI/synthetic developer persona factor. GRAY per process-learnings.md: 'F184 (insider-build AI persona): mark GRAY — by design leaves no public trace.' Drift Protocol comparator: Lazarus-linked developer implanted over 6 months with gradually increasing commit access, culminating in $285M exploit. M0 mitigants: 9 audit firms covering core + TTG (Jan-Apr 2024), Certora formal verification, 5 post-launch audit engagements — extensive external code scrutiny limits implant dwell-time risk. GitHub org has only 2 public members (Khrafts, PierrickGT); no anomalous contributor behavior detectable at OSINT tier. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence for this factor class.

Methodology #
Determine whether a curator-flagged "team contributor" or "external integrator" persona has ≥$1M of attributed real-capital deposits to the target protocol or peer protocols, potentially used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack.
