6. Verifier Finding Details
This section explains FAIL, WARN, and
UNVERIFIABLE outcomes from the verification bundle.
Row-level UNVERIFIABLE entries often mean the verifier does
not yet support that (coin, network) pair, not that the exchange failed
the check. Full machine-readable output:
2026082604.verification-bundle.v2.json in the local
artifact bundle.

governance, internal controls, off-chain assets, legal compliance, or
complete off-balance-sheet liabilities.
Missing data must be marked as UNVERIFIABLE, not treated
as PASS.
