+# Trust and Verification
+
+This page summarizes how to verify `ta-crypto` behavior and release integrity.
+
+## What is verified before release
+
+- Build and tests across Node versions (CI matrix).
+- Golden parity checks for core indicators.
+- Compatibility checks against external references.
+- Typed API contracts and input validation behavior.
+
+Primary workflow:
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
+
+## Compatibility trust model
+
+Policy source:
+- `scripts/compat-policy.json`
+
+Rules:
+- Reference series are aligned to equal length before comparison.
+- Indicator-specific burn-in is applied before measuring differences.
+- Blocking references: `TA-Lib`, `technicalindicators`.
+- Non-blocking telemetry: `pandas-ta` (environment dependent).
+
+Related scripts:
+- `scripts/export-compat-vectors.js`
+- `scripts/compare-technicalindicators.js`
+- `scripts/compare-python-refs.py`
+
+## How to verify locally
+
+```bash
+npm ci
+npm run build
+npm test
+npm run test:golden
+npm run test:compat:technicalindicators
+# python deps: pip install -r scripts/requirements-compat.txt
+npm run test:compat:python
+```
+
+## Release traceability
+
+- Changelog history: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Git tags and releases: GitHub Releases page
+- Current stable line: `v0.3.0`
+
+Recommended verification checks:
+1. Confirm release tag exists and matches expected commit.
+2. Confirm CI run on `main` is green for the release commit.
+3. Confirm compatibility scripts pass in CI logs.
+
+## Limitations and transparency
+
+- Some reference libraries differ in warmup semantics; comparisons use overlapping non-null windows.
+- Python reference checks depend on environment packages (`TA-Lib`, `pandas-ta`).
+- Crypto orderflow proxies are candle-derived and not equivalent to L2/L3 order book signals.

+# Examples
+
+All examples are runnable from the repository root and use local `dist/` outputs.
+
+## Run commands
+
+```bash
+npm run example:rsi
+npm run example:vwap
+npm run example:funding
+npm run example:rsi:compat
+npm run example:all
+```
+
+## Expected outputs
+
+- `example:rsi`
+  - Prints a table with recent rows containing `index`, `close`, `rsi`, and `signal`.
+  - Warmup rows appear first as `signal: "warmup"`.
+- `example:vwap`
+  - Prints `Batch VWAP session` and `Streaming VWAP session`.
+  - Both arrays should match index by index.
+- `example:funding`
+  - Prints funding series, cumulative values, and annualized APR values.
+  - Cumulative is running sum; APR is scaled by `periodsPerYear * 100`.
+- `example:rsi:compat`
+  - Compares `rsi(14)` against `technicalindicators` RSI reference.
+  - Prints max diff, tolerance, and `PASS`/`FAIL`.
+
+## Notes
+
+- These examples are smoke-entry points for contributors and docs users.
+- For reproducibility, run `npm ci` once before running examples.
