The AI Consultant: an on-demand verdict per card

CryptoCline · Updated June 30, 2026

TL;DR
  • The «Consultant» button on every arbitrage card runs an AI agent that reviews the whole card, cross-checks it against live exchange data and the deterministic Analysis, and returns a structured verdict (stance + score + ranked risks + recommendation).
  • It does not replace the «Analysis» — it interprets it and catches what a formula cannot: contradictions between metrics and, optionally, real-world news (delisting, hack, withdrawal halt).
  • Each consultation costs credits; the optional deep news check (web search) costs extra and is a checkbox before you send. A fresh identical consultation within a few minutes is returned free from cache.
  • On Current/Daily cards the verdict is per variant — each of spot-spot, spot-perp and perp-perp gets its own GO/CAUTION/AVOID mark in one run, shown on its row. Every run is saved with its time, so you can reopen any past verdict for free from the card or the modal.

Every card already ships with a deterministic «Analysis» — a 0–100 risk score with a checklist, computed by formula from live market data (see How the risk score is calculated). The Consultant is a layer on top: an AI agent reads the exact same authoritative numbers and turns them into a human verdict with a recommendation. It never recomputes the spread or APR — those are taken as ground truth — so it cannot be fooled by a fabricated number on screen.

How is it different from «Analysis»?

The «Analysis» is a fast, free, deterministic checklist — the same inputs always give the same score. The Consultant is slower and costs credits, but it reasons: it reconciles contradictions (e.g. a healthy score but a stuck spread), weighs data freshness, names the single biggest threat, and — if you enable the news check — looks for events no formula can see.

What does the «deep news check» do?

When you tick the checkbox before sending, the agent searches the web for material events on the coin — a delisting announcement, an exchange hack, a withdrawal suspension, or regulatory action — and cites its sources in the verdict. This is the one thing the deterministic «Analysis» fundamentally cannot do. It costs extra credits and takes longer, so it is opt-in per consultation. Absence of news is reported as such — it is not proof of safety.

How do credits work?

  • A consultation debits credits from your balance; the deep news check adds a surcharge. Both amounts are shown in the modal before you confirm.
  • PRO accounts receive a monthly credit allowance; credits can also be topped up. If a consultation fails, the credits are automatically refunded.
  • Reopening the same card with the same settings within a few minutes returns the cached verdict at no charge — use «New run» to pay for a fresh one.

How do I read the verdict?

The verdict opens with a stance — GO, CAUTION, or AVOID — and a 0–100 consultant score (higher = riskier, same convention as the «Analysis», shown side by side so you can see any disagreement). Below it: the single biggest threat, ranked risks, points in favour, a concrete recommendation (capital, leverage, entry/exit, withdrawal network), a manual-check list, and any news found.

Does it rate each trade variant?

On Current and Daily cards — which offer several execution variants (spot-spot, spot-perp, perp-perp) — the Consultant judges each one in a single run and gives it its own stance and score. The same prices can make one variant a GO and another an AVOID: for example spot-spot blocked by a dead transfer network while the hedged spot-perp is fine. Each variant’s mark is shown right on its row in the variants table, and the top-line stance summarises the single best variant. Funding and book cards are a single construction, so they get one verdict.

Where do past consultations go?

Nothing is overwritten: every run is saved with its timestamp, so a card accumulates a history of verdicts. Open the «Consultant» modal to see the full list (time → stance → score) and click any row to expand the saved verdict. On the card itself, the most recent run dates appear as clickable links under the «Consultant» button — click a date to read that exact past verdict in a popup, the same way «Analysis» opens. The history is scoped to that specific opportunity (mode + coin + exchanges), and reopening a saved verdict never costs credits — you only pay when you run a new consultation.

The Consultant is a risk- and feasibility-assessment tool, not financial advice, and the model can be wrong or work from stale data. Always check the variants table, the order books, and withdrawal availability yourself before entering a trade.
