Five checks you can run
Short questionnaires that run in your browser and give you back something more useful than a warning.
What these are, and what they are not
Each of the five asks you a short set of questions and reflects the answers back with what they usually mean. They run entirely in your browser: nothing you tick is transmitted, stored, or logged, because there is no server-side application here to receive it.
None of them produces a verdict about a named company. Two of them are designed so that the honest output can be uncomfortable — the platform check reports risk signals rather than a conclusion, and the risk self-check can tell you that now is not the time. That is deliberate, and the reasoning is on the editorial page.
They are thinking aids. Nothing they print is legal or investment advice, and none of them can see the thing that matters most about a platform, which is what it does with customer money behind the interface.
