Do your own research means reading primary sources: docs, contracts, GitHub, and official announcements. Recap threads are not primary sources.

Check who can upgrade the contract, whether liquidity is locked, and whether the team is identifiable. None of those prove a project is 'good.'

JC verification looks at official links, docs, domain authenticity, and community reports. Verified means those checks were run, not that the project is safe.

If you cannot explain how a token accrues value, you are guessing. Guessing is allowed. Calling it research is not.
