  "intent": "Audit the boundary between Jepeta scanner evidence and external security guidance.",
  "directAnswer": "Jepeta's public methodology is designed to expose evidence rather than certify safety. This audit compares that methodology with Base security guidance and records the boundary: scanner signals can support a risk decision, while application behavior and user-granted permissions still require separate verification.",

      "heading": "Audit method and evidence",
      "paragraphs": [
        "Jepeta's public methodology treats scanner output as evidence-led screening and explicitly stops short of calling a result a safety guarantee or contract audit.",
        "Base security guidance adds controls outside a token-risk verdict, including contract verification, minimizing exposure of user funds and transparent onchain interactions."
      ]

      "heading": "Jepeta findings",
      "paragraphs": [
        "The source audit therefore identifies a deliberate boundary: scanner evidence can inform a token decision while application behavior and user-granted permissions still need separate checks.",
        "Jepeta should present the scanner as one evidence layer in a broader security workflow, not as a replacement for permission review or application verification."
