Methodology
Every INDEX read has two layers, kept visibly separate: on-chain fact, and editorial judgement. Knowing which is which is the point.
Fact. Anything marked read on-chain is computed directly from public blockchain data: the contract, ownership and concentration, the mint, transfer history. It is deterministic and reproducible. Anyone with the same data reaches the same numbers.
Judgement. The lens, the line on what most people get wrong, the cultural rating: these are editorial. They are a person's considered reading, meant to be arguable. INDEX signs them, it does not disguise them as data.
The wall. A read is not yet reviewed until a person verifies it into the Canon. There are only two public states, not yet reviewed and verified. Nothing is auto-published as fact.
What INDEX will not do. No price targets, no buy, sell, or hold, no predictions. INDEX describes, it never prescribes.
Behaviour, not intent. When INDEX reads a wallet or a mint, it describes what happened on-chain. It never claims to know why, because the chain cannot show motive.
Limits, stated plainly. On-chain reads cannot perfectly separate a self-transfer or a vaulting move from a genuine sale. Where that matters, INDEX says so rather than pretending to certainty.
Corrections. One wrong verified fact costs more than a missing one. If something is wrong, send evidence and it is fixed with a visible note.
