Getting the most out of Neo

Neo is most useful when you ask it the kind of question you'd put to a head of risk. This page shows how to frame questions and what Neo is built to answer.

Ask specific questions​

Neo answers best when you name three things:

  • The subject — a pool, a counterparty, or your whole book.
  • The shock — what you want to stress against (a volatility spike, a depeg, a large redemption).
  • The horizon or size — your position size, or how much you'd want to exit.

Vague: "Is this pool safe?" Sharp: "If ETH volatility spikes 10x, how much of my $5M Morpho position is at risk, and what's my withdrawal runway?"

Workflows Neo is built for​

These are the patterns Neo handles today:

  • Portfolio stress — your whole book's downside in a stressed regime, and which position drives it. See Portfolio Stress methodology.
  • Pool due diligence — a full 8-dimension risk review of a single pool before you allocate.
  • Your book at a glance — current exposure, concentration, and the riskiest positions you hold.
  • Liquidation headroom — how much buffer a position has before it's at risk, and how fast that buffer is eroding.
  • Scenario shocks — what a specific depeg, volatility spike, or redemption wave does to a position or book.

Example prompts​

"Run a risk review on the Maple high-yield pool. What are the top-severity findings?"

"What's my liquidation headroom on my Aave ETH/USDC position right now?"

"Stress my book against a stETH depeg. Which position contributes most to the tail?"

"How concentrated are the lenders in this Morpho vault, and how quickly could it be drained?"

Tips​

  • Neo abstains when data is missing. If you see a "degraded" or "abstained" note, that's deliberate — Neo won't guess on stale or missing inputs. Ask what input it's waiting on.
  • Go one layer deeper. After an answer, you can ask for the source or the methodology behind any figure. Every number traces back to something.
  • Read severity, not just the headline. A pool can look fine on average and still carry a stressed minority. Neo surfaces the tail; ask about it.
  • Stay in coverage. Neo answers within its covered protocols. Out-of-scope questions are declined rather than guessed at.
