    "What is an AML risk score in crypto?",

    "Does no-KYC remove AML risk?",
    "Can AI check AML risk for my wallet?",
    "What should I share with support if a transaction needs review?"
  ],
  "quickSteps": [
    "Review the source wallet before opening a quote, because old history, unknown incoming funds, custodial withdrawals, or token exposure can shape the risk context.",
    "Check the asset and network carefully, including contract details when relevant, fee token requirements, minimum amount, and destination wallet readiness.",
    "Separate wallet roles so storage, routine swaps, business payments, testing, and support proof do not all sit inside one hard-to-explain wallet history.",
    "Prepare narrow proof for support or review, using only the chain, TXID, amount, time, route state, and wallet context needed for the exact question.",
    "Proceed only when the source wallet, route, asset, network, and destination wallet match; stop if you are relying on guesswork, AI certification, or transaction splitting to handle risk."

      {

        "then": [
          "Check the exact asset, network, contract when relevant, fee token, and destination wallet readiness.",
          "Treat public-chain visibility as separate from no-KYC identity reduction.",

      {
        "if": "The user needs AI help or support before or after the swap",
        "then": [
          "Ask AI for general risk categories and checklists, not a personal AML verdict.",
          "Share only narrow proof such as chain, TXID, amount, time, route state, and wallet context when needed.",
          "Never share seed phrases, private keys, wallet backups, remote access, full wallet screenshots, or full transaction histories."
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "riskNotes": [
    "An AML risk score is a risk signal based on wallet, transaction, and source context, not a complete personal judgment.",
    "No-KYC can reduce identity collection, but it does not erase public-chain visibility or source-wallet history.",
    "Stablecoins and tokens may carry network, contract, issuer, or freeze-related controls that native coins do not have.",
    "Custodial withdrawals can complicate proof, refunds, and source explanation because the user may not control the sending address.",
    "Splitting transactions to avoid review can create worse patterns and more questions; clear records and narrow proof are safer."
