Why ACI

The four defensibility axes

INDEPENDENT

Not a counterparty. Not a custodian.

ACI does not accept payment from a covered provider, issuer or platform, directly or through an intermediary, to commission, produce, modify, delay, withhold or publish an ACI Risk Indicator. Not paid by issuers to produce, change or publish a Risk Indicator. Holds no financial interest in any provider ACI covers.

DETERMINISTIC

Published, version-controlled methodology.

No AI-generated narrative. No black-box computation. Risk Indicator calculations are deterministic when the approved inputs, methodology version, engine version and configuration are held constant. The ACI Framework v1.0 is a published, version-controlled methodology. Field-level confidence below 0.70 triggers worst-case substitution before the weighted sum. Digital Asset ETP indicators are pre-effective until evidence-type recalibration completes: they use raw bucket values, their confidence is diagnostic only, and worst-case substitution is not yet applied. As at 12 October 2026: for Modules 4–8, the indicators shown were computed before engine 1.1.0 (5 October 2026), which also applies worst-case substitution when a field's confidence is missing. The disclosure is removed when these indicators are certified under engine 1.1.0. As at 12 October 2026: for Modules 1A–1C, the indicators shown were set in June 2026 and have not been recomputed under engine 1.1.0 (5 October 2026). The disclosure is removed when these indicators are certified under engine 1.1.0.

ACI Intelligence Brief

DRAWN FROM THE ACI EVIDENCE NETWORK

How ACI interprets risk.

Explore how ACI interprets risk across providers, modules, and methodology. Each ACI Risk Indicator is derived from structured evidence — not opinion, not inference.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · STABLECOIN YIELD (DEFI)Example Protocol · ACI Risk Indicator: 72

What drives a DeFi stablecoin protocol's ACI Risk Indicator?

The ACI Risk Indicator for a DeFi stablecoin protocol reflects collateralisation ratios, peg stability, liquidation threshold margins, and governance concentration metrics — each derived from on-chain data and publicly available protocol documentation. No single factor determines the output; the ACI Framework v1.0 applies a published weighted computation across all criteria.

ACI Framework v1.0 · Published methodologyILLUSTRATIVE · NOT A REAL RECORD

ACI's methodology is versioned and public, its evidence is dated and sourced, and every published ACI Risk Indicator carries the framework version that produced it. That combination is what makes it a defensible input into investment decision-making.

ACI computes risk. You decide how to allocate capital.
