Example Prompts

Once connected, try asking your AI assistant:

Discovery

"Find the safest USDC vaults with at least $10M TVL"

"What Morpho vaults are available on Base?"

"Show me the DeFi market overview"

Analysis

"Run due diligence on the Steakhouse USDC vault on Ethereum"

"Compare the top 3 USDC vaults by risk score"

"What's the risk breakdown for this vault: ethereum/0x..."

Portfolio

"Assess my portfolio: 50% in Morpho Steakhouse USDC, 30% in Aave USDC, 20% in Yearn USDC"

"Which protocols have had security incidents?"

"What does a risk score of 8.5 mean?"

---

Risk Scoring

Philidor uses the Vector Risk Framework to decompose vault risk into three measurable vectors:

Final Score = 40% Asset + 40% Platform + 20% Governance

Asset Composition (40%)

Quality of underlying collateral. Blue-chip assets (ETH, USDC) score 10/10. Less liquid collateral scores lower.

Platform Code (40%)

Code maturity measured by:

• Lindy Score — time-based safety (>2 years = ~9/10)
• Audit Density — number and type of audits
• Dependency Risk — multiplicative penalties for risky dependencies
• Incident Penalty — caps score after security incidents

Governance (20%)

Exit window for users:

• Immutable contract: 10/10
• 7+ day timelock: 9/10
• No timelock: 1/10

Risk Tiers

Tier	Score	Meaning
Prime	8.0 - 10.0	Institutional-grade — mature code, multiple audits, safe governance
Core	5.0 - 7.9	Moderate safety — audited but newer or flexible governance
Edge	0.0 - 4.9	Higher risk — requires careful due diligence
