The Blockchain & Crypto Use-Case Evaluator

Evaluate honestly whether blockchain, crypto, or tokenisation is the right
tool for this problem — or whether a normal database would do the job.

The problem or idea: [DESCRIBE]
Why blockchain/crypto is being considered: [DESCRIBE]

Provide:
1. The actual requirement (trust, transparency, settlement,
   disintermediation, programmability) and whether it genuinely needs a
   blockchain
2. Where a conventional database or existing payment rails would be
   simpler, cheaper, and faster
3. The narrow use cases where distributed ledgers add real value versus
   the hype-driven ones
4. The real costs and risks (volatility, custody, security, regulation,
   irreversibility, user experience)
5. A clear recommendation: use it, don't, or a lighter alternative

Default to scepticism — most "blockchain" problems are better solved
without one, and you should say so plainly if that's the case here. Flag
regulatory and custody issues for specialists.
