Source categories — what feeds this score

Why this matters: Single-source review sites read very differently from the composite. Selection bias — only the loudest users self-report — is reduced here by aggregating across several sources. The category breakdown below shows the current mix and contribution without naming individual platforms. Methodology v2.1.

Current cell: 3 sources across 2 categories.

Clusters are counted signals, not a legal finding. A cluster reflects how often a theme recurs in public review text — it is not an adjudicated complaint, an allegation upheld, or proof of wrongdoing.

Rising, steady and easing describe changes in counted mentions during the displayed evidence window. They are not findings or predictions.

Methodology FAQ

How is CEX.IO rated?

We don't yet have enough verified signal to publish a score for CEX.IO. The page shows what we've collected so far: 1,059 signals.

What regulatory standing does CEX.IO have in the United Kingdom?

CEX.IO is registered or licensed under FCA-CRYPTO in the United Kingdom. IndexFair's Block-A regulatory grade is not yet graded. A registration reflects regulatory standing only — the IndexFair score adds user-experience signals on top, so a registered brand can still hold a low score.

What are CEX.IO's strongest and weakest service aspects?

There isn't enough per-aspect signal for CEX.IO yet to identify aspect scores.

How long do CEX.IO exchange withdrawals take?

CEX.IO has 0 captured operator-stated processing windows for the United Kingdom (methodology v2.1). CEX.IO has 0 payout-related signals in our dataset for this market — we do not publish a Payouts aspect score yet.

How is CEX.IO's reserve transparency evaluated?

Block-A regulatory data for CEX.IO has not yet been fully captured. Reserve transparency will be scored once attestations are collected.

Where does CEX.IO's score come from?

CEX.IO's score draws on 3 sources: consumer-review aggregators, app stores, and the regulatory register for this market. The live pipeline combines the recorded raw signals using the published source-trust and time weights. The per-source breakdown is in the Sources section above.

How often is CEX.IO's score updated?

Scores recompute automatically whenever new review data, a status change, or a methodology update arrives — typically within a few minutes, not on a daily schedule. Every brand page displays the "last recomputed" timestamp. Methodology version changes are dated at /changelog.

What is the confidence interval shown on the score?

The ±0.x bracket is a 95% confidence interval derived from sample variance and effective sample size after time-decay. A score of 8.4 ± 0.3 reads as: 95% confidence the true value lies in 8.1–8.7 given current evidence. Wider intervals indicate small samples or high source divergence.

Can I trust an automated exchange rating?

The score is computed by a published formula, not editorial judgement — the same inputs always produce the same output and the formula is auditable. Methodology versions are append-only at /changelog with effective dates. Disputes route through /privacy/contact; the founder reviews factual disputes (regulatory data, attestation status).
