Before you trust any tool
Run the same filter every time.
- What problem does it remove?A tool should reduce tax friction, banking fragility, transfer costs, compliance risk, or operational drag.
- What breaks if access is lost?Assume cards freeze, apps flag logins, and paperwork takes longer abroad. Build redundancy.
- Who regulates it?Know the jurisdiction, reporting obligations, consumer protections, and complaint path before moving serious money.
