Investigation Playbooks

Run these on the live dashboard. If a fetch fails, stop. Missing data is not a hidden green light.

Playbook 1: Is an Aave market becoming risky?

1. 1Overview

   Utilization, available liquidity, liquidations in window. Note missing-chain warnings.

2. 2Markets

   Sort by utilization. Open the busy deployment.

3. 3Risk Monitor

   High utilization reserves, frozen/inactive, top-asset share.

4. 4Asset page

   Caps, APYs, oracle price, recent events.

5. 5Governance

   Any cap or parameter change in the window.

Playbook 2: Is a whale position approaching liquidation?

1. 1Whales

   Find the large print. Open the wallet.

2. 2Wallet / My position

   Debt? Health Factor band? Dominant collateral?

3. 3Simulator

   Shock that collateral. See if HF crosses 1 at -10% or -20%.

4. 4Live Activity

   New borrows vs repayments vs collateral disable.

5. 5Liquidations

   Did a partial liquidation already happen?

Playbook 3: Why did borrowing APY suddenly increase?

1. 1Assets / asset detail

   Confirm which reserve and chain. Read utilization and borrow APY together.

2. 2Live Activity Borrow

   A burst of borrows can reprice the curve.

3. 3Withdrawals

   Supply leaving has the same utilization math as borrows arriving.

4. 4Governance / config

   A rate-strategy or reserve-factor change can move APY without a flow burst.

Playbook 4: Why did utilization suddenly increase?

1. 1Split the ratio

   Utilization = borrowed / supplied. Which side moved?

2. 2Activity

   Borrow filter vs Withdraw filter, same asset.

3. 3Whales

   One $20M action can explain a thin reserve. It may not explain Ethereum USDC.

4. 4Overview

   If only one chain's bar jumped, do not blame the whole protocol.

Playbook 5: Did a major protocol change happen?

1. 1Governance

   Recent governance events plus Ethereum contract list.

2. 2Live Activity All

   Listings, pauses, config_change.

3. 3Contracts

   Confirm you are looking at the address-book pool and configurator.

4. 4Asset configuration

   LTV, caps, frozen flags after the event.

Playbook 6: What happens if ETH drops 20%?

1. 1Pick a wallet that actually holds ETH collateral

   Yours via Connect, or one from Whales / Activity.

2. 2Simulator

   Select the ETH/WETH chip. Read the -20% row. HF below 1 means this wallet would be liquidatable under the stated assumptions.

3. 3Asset WETH

   Utilization and available liquidity if many people might withdraw or get liquidated. This is context, not a volume forecast.

4. 4Do not

   Quote a protocol-wide liquidation total. Ronnie does not simulate every wallet.

Playbook 7: Is liquidity becoming concentrated?

1. 1Overview Top supplied assets

   Is one symbol most of TVL?

2. 2Risk Monitor Market concentration

   Top asset and share per market.

3. 3Whales

   Is flow one wallet?

4. 4Wallet concentration

   On a position, 70%+ in one collateral is Ronnie's concentration warning.

Playbook 8: Is unusual activity happening right now?

1. 1Overview Live event mix and Live activity

   What action type dominates this window?

2. 2Liquidations and Flash loans KPIs

   A burst is a reason to open those pages.

3. 3Whales

   Any outsized USD print?

4. 4Governance

   Unusual can be a listing, not only a liquidation.

5. 5Search
