A pre-scale review for crypto policy before expanding the scope

Before scaling a policy thesis, I want to see that the team has named the relevant regulators, identified the product assumptions at risk, and written at least one credible contingency plan. If not, the strategy is still too dependent on headlines behaving nicely.

Three evaluation axes to compare:
- specificity of the regulatory scenario
- fit between policy interpretation and the product model
- readiness of compliance and communication plans

Review materials:
- EU crypto asset rules overview: finance.ec.europa.eu/digital-finance/eu-rules...
Helpful for comparing US uncertainty with a more formal legislative framework.
- FATF virtual assets guidance: fatf-gafi.org/en/publications/Fatfrecommendat...
Still one of the key references for travel rule and risk-based compliance conversations.
- Ethereum Improvement Proposals: github.com/ethereum/EIPs
Primary-source technical documents that often sit underneath policy claims.

Save the strongest examples, scorecards, and decision memos in this folio so future teammates can see what good evaluation looked like at the time.
