# Safety Scoring

## L1 - Summary

RUG scores every candidate with `safety.score_report` before it can proceed: authorities, holders, and liquidity each report pass, fail, or blind with reasons. Blind is not a pass; a blind check routes to RISK judgment, never to silent approval. RISK consumes the verdict through `risk.check_limits`, not by re-running the checks.

```
all checks pass -> scored report attaches to the ticket -> RISK rules
any check fails -> candidate blocked with reasons
any check blind -> marked blind, routed to RISK; never treated as pass
```

## L2 - Method

1. S1 - Run the report: call `safety.score_report` for the candidate mint. Read every per-check outcome plus its reason; the top-line score never overrides a failing check.
2. S2 - Apply the thresholds table: compare each component against the pinned thresholds (authority flags, top-holder concentration, liquidity floor multiple). Thresholds change only through a reviewed config change, not per-ticket judgment.
3. S3 - Handle blind honestly: when a check cannot run (missing data, degraded RPC), mark it blind with the cause and route the ticket to RISK. Blind plus urgency is still blind.
4. S4 - Attach the verdict: store the full report with the ticket so RISK, WHALE, and the journal all read the same reasons. Summaries without reasons are not verdicts.
5. S5 - Tune by evidence: threshold changes require replay evidence across the fixture sets showing fewer misses without new false safety. Tune the table, never the individual ticket.

## Failure modes

| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Blind treated as pass | Score-first reading of the report | Re-grade; blind always routes to RISK |
| Threshold edited per ticket | Pressure to clear a favorite | Revert; thresholds change only by reviewed config |
| Missing reasons | Truncated or summarized report | Re-run the full report; reasons are the verdict |
| Stale data scored as fresh | Degraded RPC behind the checks | Mark the affected checks blind with the data age |
