Evidence comes first.

01. Establish identity and scope

Record the chain, full contract address, deployment transaction, analysis window, and block range. Verify the launch venue from primary evidence before describing a launch as a Pons launch. Token names and tickers alone do not establish identity.

02. Reconstruct the timeline

Use transaction receipts and block timestamps, reported in UTC. Distinguish transaction submission from inclusion. Record failed transactions where relevant; do not treat them as completed trades.

03. Examine liquidity and trading

Identify pools, quote assets, liquidity additions and removals, and swaps. State units, calculation methods, observation times, and source links beside every metric. Separate historical snapshots from current readings. Missing information is labeled “Data unavailable.”

04. Inspect holder distribution

Specify the block and supply denominator. Identify known pool and burn addresses separately; show both included and excluded calculations where supported. Do not infer common wallet ownership from timing or transfer patterns alone. A deployer relationship requires explicit evidence.

05. Separate facts and interpretations

Present observed facts separately from possible explanations. Describe alternative explanations and evidence that could change the assessment. Missing risk flags do not establish safety. We do not issue blanket safety scores or guaranteed-return claims.

Source hierarchy

Prefer explorer transaction receipts, verified contract code, pool events, and reproducible archive-node queries. Link exact transactions and blocks, record retrieval times, preserve query methods, and distinguish project statements from independently verified evidence. No real source is represented by a fictional demonstration reference.

Disclosures and review
