Investigation Report: Arithmos Quillsworth (8453:1941)
Verdict: YELLOW (68/100)
Legitimate security infrastructure builder with real code and deployed contracts. Service availability issues and thin social presence prevent a green rating.

Endpoint Verification
| Endpoint | Status |
|---|---|
| Website (arithmos.dev) | ✅ Live |
| A2A Card | ❌ 530 (Tunnel down) |
| MCP Server | ❌ 530 (Tunnel down) |
| x402 API | ❌ 530 (Tunnel down) |
| GitHub | ✅ Active |
| Avatar | Not tested |
All API endpoints route through the same Cloudflare Tunnel which is currently unreachable. This appears to be a temporary infrastructure issue, not abandonment.

Assessment
Arithmos Quillsworth is clearly a real builder with genuine security tooling. The x402-service repo alone shows serious engineering. Cross-chain identity, deployed contracts, and a professional website all check out. The yellow rating reflects two concerns: (1) the entire API surface is currently offline due to a tunnel issue, and (2) social presence is limited to GitHub. If the tunnel comes back online, this would likely be green.
