This page explains the scope of 2DOTS articles. Coverage is limited to the sources and questions identified in each article; it is not an exhaustive investigation of every register, jurisdiction or website.
Names and sources
We keep the exact subject name. Similar names or websites are not assumed to share an operator. If the official domain or legal entity has not been authenticated, the article says so. Each article identifies the sources actually used and their limits. General regulator guidance provides context, not a product-specific finding.
Claims and warnings
Statements from advertising or a platform are attributed as claims. We describe a warning as applying to a subject only when the notice matches the exact name or domain and the connection is supported. A warning about another name is not transferred by resemblance.
What Unknown means
Unknown or Unverified means there is insufficient authenticated evidence to establish the relevant facts. It does not mean we searched all licence and warning registers and found nothing. It is neither approval nor a finding of wrongdoing.
What we do not test
These articles do not report account opening, deposits, identity verification, trades or withdrawal tests. We do not award product ratings or claim verified returns. Hypothetical scenarios are illustrations, not customer experiences. Questions to ask are not findings that a product has a particular feature.
Dates and corrections
The preparation or update date refers to the work described on that page. It does not certify a new search of every register. We do not promise one-hour investigations, continuous monitoring or periodic register sweeps. Corrections should identify the changed claim and its supporting source.
