Identify exactly what is claimed
Separate a feature claim such as supports backtesting from an outcome claim such as improves returns. Ask whether the number describes one strategy, selected users, a marketplace provider or all active accounts.
Demand the missing denominator
Look for dates, capital base, fees, funding, slippage, maximum drawdown, failed accounts and inactive users. A win rate without payoff distribution can conceal a strategy that loses more when it fails.
Treat AI as an implementation label
Altrady documents AI-assisted configuration, while CryptoHero and OctoBot advertise AI-linked workflows. Those descriptions alone do not establish superior live returns.
Use a verification ladder
Company copy establishes what was advertised. Reproducible methods and raw records are stronger; independent assurance with a defined scope is stronger still. Missing evidence warrants Unverified or Unable to Verify, not an accusation.
