Vigil Atlas How we verify what you see
A risk score is only useful if you trust where it came from. Here's exactly how ours are built.
From report to risk score
Every entity on Vigil Atlas goes through the same four-stage pipeline before a score is published.
Collection
Reports arrive from victims, partner organizations, and automated monitoring of domains, wallets, and known scam infrastructure.
Cross-reference
Each submission is checked against existing records — shared wallet addresses, reused templates, and registration data.
Analyst review
A human analyst reviews corroborating evidence before a report affects a public-facing score.
Continuous re-scoring
Scores are recalculated as new evidence arrives, so an entity can move between risk bands over time.
What the 0–100 scale means
High Risk. Strong indicators of fraud — multiple corroborated reports, reused infrastructure, or confirmed scam patterns.
Caution. Some risk indicators present, but not enough corroborating evidence for a high-risk classification. Verify independently.
Verified / Low Risk. No significant risk indicators found, or the entity has confirmed registration and a clean report history.
Data sources
Victim-submitted reports
First-hand accounts submitted through our report form.
Public company registries
Registration, ownership, and standing records where available.
Wallet & domain intelligence
On-chain address clustering and domain registration monitoring.
Partner organizations
Consumer protection groups and financial institutions sharing verified threat data.
A risk score is a signal, not a verdict. It reflects available evidence at the time of the check. Always use independent judgment before sending money or sharing personal data.
Disagree with a score? Anyone can submit a report with supporting evidence for analyst review — including entities requesting correction of their own listing.
