What this does not establish

Counterevidence & uncertainty
The launch followed a revised date; early operational incidents and fee rules require ongoing observation.
What would change the reading
Track active users, unbanked onboarding, transactions, uptime, failures, disputes, fees, fraud and participant expansion.
