Evidence summary #

4-of-7 is peer-norm for $160M TVL tier. However, signer identities are unknown (not publicly attested). Safe API blocked — on-chain verification failed. Cannot confirm effective threshold if signers are co-located. Yellow because threshold adequate on paper but signer composition unverifiable.
