AI Crypto Funding Analysis: Trace the Conclusion Back to the Tool Results

Funding conclusions involve rates, intervals and venues. Each number in the answer should appear in a tool result with its time and type.

Short answer

To verify an AI funding analysis, trace each rate to a tool result showing the venue, whether it's settled (with fundingTime) or predicted (with read time), and the interval. Check annualised figures by recomputing from the tool's rate and interval, and cross-venue comparisons by confirming intervals were converted. A rate that appears in the answer but not in any tool output is unsupported.

Illustrative: the answer annualised assuming 8-hour settlements; the tool output showed a 4-hour interval, doubling the true figure.
