Where the security score comes from

Eight channels, each asking one question of the published record and reading a named set of fields to answer it. They multiply rather than add — the factor beside a channel is what is left after the pressure it found, and open a channel to see every field it read, as it is stored. How the model works

Security fields

67 55 of them feed a channel

Established

40 26 left unknown, 1 not applicable

Completeness

58% the share the model could weigh

Citations

58 across 16 documents

Every value carries what it rests on, and the model weighs the four levels differently. Weight, then how many citations on this record sit at that level:

A weighs 1.00 · 11 hereB weighs 0.85 · 47 here

The weights are methodology.json’s own; a claim seen in the artefact itself counts for more than the same claim reported second-hand. The date at the end of a row is the day that value was last read.

A channel does not price every field it reads. The ones it did are marked along their edge and carry what they added; everything else was read and cost nothing. Only a channel that composes field by field can mark a field at all — the rest price themselves by the parameters printed above their rows.

Still open on this record.

Ultimate ownership. The audited legal entity is Cayman Islands-registered "Fast Technology Limited", but no document found in this session names a beneficial owner, and the store listings give two further entity names for the same product. Independent, non-affiliate sources connecting the brand to a named individual or a wider corporate group could not be located at a citable level, so M09, M15-M18 stay unknown.

Server infrastructure. Nothing on the site states whether server hardware is owned or rented, whether servers run RAM-only, who operates the exit, or what the exit does to traffic beyond the tunnel itself. The privacy policy addresses only what is logged, never the hardware or network behind it, so C00, C02, C08 and C14 all stay unknown rather than assumed.

the rest of what is open — 112 more words

Audit scope. The one published audit (Altius IT, January 2023) inspected a sample of servers and one mobile app over a six-week window and found no identifying logs; it explicitly excluded security-control effectiveness and has not been repeated since, so the retention channel's paper credence rests on a single, ageing, sample-scoped engagement.

Cross-app tracking. The iOS App Store privacy label discloses Usage Data "used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies", which the privacy policy never mentions; Google Play's data-safety form for the Android build states no data is collected at all. The gap between the two stores, and between the iOS label and the policy, is unresolved.

On the record as a whole.

The legal-entity name differs across the provider's own filings: the Altius IT audit report names the client "Fast Technology Limited" (Cayman Islands); the iOS App Store lists the developer as "Fastest Technology Pty Ltd"; Google Play lists "Fastest Technology LLC". None of the three is contradicted by a court or registry record found in this session, so this is recorded as a transparency observation, not a documented lie.

The "1 Year + 1 Year Free" plan bills a single charge of $19.95 for a 24-month term rather than an annual total, which is why U04b_price_yearly is left unknown rather than forced onto a field that assumes a one-year plan.

Computed

×0.034 of a clean record completeness 58%

Where the drop comes from: Jurisdiction. It is the channel this record's risk is concentrated in — on its own it takes a clean record to ×0.350, and its bar above is filled to that.

Exposure is recorded as low and the integrity status as clean.

Against the rest of the register, this record sits furthest above on Retention — ×0.550 where the register averages ×0.432 — and furthest below on Jurisdiction, ×0.350 against ×0.680.

Published score

Every row above is one field of the published record, and every one of them can be challenged: every row carries Report, or raise something about the record as a whole. A correction with a source behind it is made the same day, and if it moves the score it moves the rank.
