In one sentence. Write kill rules with numbers, then pretend the same design had real customers — still testnet, still not legal advice.

Stuck? Handbook → Sessions 11–12. L3 is the peg-risk lab. “We’ll watch the market” is not a kill rule.

Part 1 — Risk (use L3 + the class AMM)

  1. Label three risks from this list: market, liquidity, admin key, oracle, custody, contagion.
  2. What you saw in class when CLASSUSD was scarce or a pool was thin. If it was not your pool, write as an observer.
  3. Three kill criteria in if-then form with a number (example: if the price is more than 40% from 0.50 and depth is under 50 CLASSUSD, pause).
  4. One mitigation you actually own — a pause button you coded, or a treasury procedure you would run. Do not list tools you did not implement.

Part 2 — If this left the classroom (1 page)

Same design, imaginary real customers. Fill every row in prose:

ItemYour answer
Legal object (voucher / e-money / deposit / security-like / commodity-like)
Why Howey-style facts help or hurt you
Licenses you would investigate (home country)
Banking / custody partner type
Who would put a name on a large transfer (Travel Rule)
One feature you will not ship in v1
One marketing sentence you will not use

This memo is a fire drill. Do not deploy to mainnet.
