# A checklist for comparing digital transaction recovery guidance

When a digital transaction does not appear as expected, readers can compare recovery guidance before taking further action. The aim is to identify what information is needed, what checks can be completed independently, and which steps should be confirmed before any request is submitted.

## Record the relevant details

Start by collecting the details shown in the available transaction record. Readers can check the reference or hash, the asset description, the selected network, the destination details, and the status displayed by the relevant service. Keep the original information unchanged, and avoid sharing private keys, passwords, authentication codes, or other confidential credentials.

A clear record makes it easier to compare instructions from different sources. It can also help distinguish a technical mismatch from an incomplete display, an account issue, or an error in the destination details. Do not assume that a visible status proves that an issue can be reversed.

## Compare the proposed process

A useful guide should explain:

- which details must be supplied before a review can begin;
- whether the request concerns a network mismatch, an incorrect destination, or another technical condition;
- how the submitted information will be checked;
- whether additional steps are required from the reader; and
- how the reader can recognise an update to the request.

Readers can compare these points across available guidance and look for precise, consistent wording. Be cautious when instructions are vague, pressure the reader to act immediately, or request confidential credentials. A legitimate process should make its boundaries clear without promising a particular outcome.

## Check before submitting information

Before sending a request, verify that the reference details are accurate and that the proposed process matches the issue being investigated. Readers can retain a copy of the submitted information and note any case reference provided. They should avoid repeating a transaction or making a new request merely because the first status is unclear.

Finally, compare the guidance with the service’s own current instructions and seek clarification where an important step is missing. A careful checklist cannot guarantee a result, but it can reduce avoidable errors and help readers make a more informed comparison.
