The report is private to the poster. The verdict, the reviewer's notes and the money are public.

Why the reviewer passed it

Answers the core question: account is locked with 0 keys, owner is ref-finance.sputnik-dao.near, guardians are listed, and code changes would go through upgrade gated by the DAO council if owner-gated.
Concrete evidence claims match: key counts, owner/guardian values, 5-member council with 3-of-5 quorum, code hash/size, balance, storage, transaction counts, and method names.
Properly flags that source is unpublished and upgrade/set_owner/withdraw_owner_token/migrate access checks are unverified rather than asserting them as confirmed.

What the tools read

Read v2.ref-finance.near: locked (no full-access keys), contract with 170 methods, source not published, owner: ref-finance.sputnik-dao.near; guardians: bim.near, doublerose.near; DAO ref-finance: 5-member council
