The final review score is indicated as a percentage. The percentage is calculated as Achieved Points due to MAX Possible Points. For each element the answer can be either Yes/No or a percentage. For a detailed breakdown of the individual weights of each question, please consult this document.
Very simply, the audit looks for the following declarations from the developer's site. With these declarations, it is reasonable to trust the smart contracts.

This section looks at the code deployed on the relevant chain that gets reviewed and its corresponding software repository. The document explaining these questions is here.
1. Are the smart contract addresses easy to find? (%)
They can be found at https://docs.cream.finance/smart-contract-address, as indicated in the Appendix.
2. How active is the primary contract? (%)
Contract unitroller.sol is used 10+ times a day, as indicated in the Appendix.
3. Does the protocol have a public software repository? (Y/N)
Location: https://github.com/CreamFi/compound-protocol
4. Is there a development history visible? (%)
With 312 commits and 27 branches, C.R.E.A.M 's main smart contract repository is the cream of the crop..
5. Is the team public (not anonymous)?
The team is public and they cross-confirm their employment.
This section looks at the software documentation. The document explaining these questions is here.
6. Is there a whitepaper? (Y/N)
Location: https://docs.cream.finance/
7. Is the protocol's software architecture documented? (Y/N)
This protocol's software architecture is documented in full at this location.
8. Does the software documentation fully cover the deployed contracts' source code? (%)
This protocol's software function documentation is also documented in full at this location. While C.R.E.A.M. is a fork of Compound, they directly state this alongside explaining where to find the relevant documentation.
9. Is it possible to trace the documented software to its implementation in the protocol's source code? (%)
There is clear association but no explicit traceability between software documentation and implemented code.
10. Has the protocol tested their deployed code? (%)
Code examples are in the Appendix at the end of this report.. As per the SLOC, there is 172% testing to code (TtC). This score is guided by the Test to Code ratio (TtC). Generally a good test to code ratio is over 100%. However, the reviewer's best judgement is the final deciding factor.
11. How covered is the protocol's code? (%)
There is no evidence of any C.R.E.A.M code coverage, however there is a reasonably complete set of tests.
12. Does the protocol provide scripts and instructions to run their tests? (Y/N)
Scripts/Instructions location: https://github.com/CreamFi/compound-protocol/tree/cream-v2/script
13. Is there a detailed report of the protocol's test results?(%)
C.R.E.A.M. has a robust CircleCI suite at https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/CreamFi/compound-protocol
14. Has the protocol undergone Formal Verification? (Y/N)
C.R.E.A.M. has not undergone formal verification.
15. Were the smart contracts deployed to a testnet? (Y/N)
C.R.E.A.M. has been deployed to a testnet.
This section looks at the 3rd party software audits done. It is explained in this document.
16. Is the protocol sufficiently audited? (%)
C.R.E.A.M. underwent an audit pre-deployment by Trail of Bits
17. Is the bounty value acceptably high (%)
C.R.E.A.M. offers an active bug bounty of $1.25M with Immunefi.
This section covers the documentation of special access controls for a DeFi protocol. The admin access controls are the contracts that allow updating contracts or coefficients in the protocol. Since these contracts can allow the protocol admins to "change the rules", complete disclosure of capabilities is vital for user's transparency. It is explained in this document.
18. Is the protocol's admin control information easy to find?
Admin control information was documented at under governance information. This took some looking and is not as well identified as it might otherwise be.
19. Are relevant contracts clearly labelled as upgradeable or immutable? (%)
The relevant contracts are not identified as immutable. While this is inferred via the voting process, it is unclear precisely in documentation.
20. Is the type of smart contract ownership clearly indicated? (%)
Ownership is not clearly indicated C.R.E.A.M.'s documentation. Some staking contract permissions are identified, but this requires more clarity.
21. Are the protocol's smart contract change capabilities described? (%)
Smart contract change capabilities are inferred but not clearly identified in the contracts.
22. Is the protocol's admin control information easy to understand? (%)
This information is not in software specific language, aiding user comprehension.
23. Is there sufficient Pause Control documentation? (%)
This protocol's pause control is documented but not explained in this location. There is no evidence of regular testing. It is a fork of Compound's pause guardian.
24. Is there sufficient Timelock documentation? (%)
C.R.E.A.M. has no timelock documentation.
25. Is the Timelock of an adequate length? (Y/N)
C.R.E.A.M. has no timelock documentation.
This section goes over the documentation that a protocol may or may not supply about their Oracle usage. Oracles are a fundamental part of DeFi as they are responsible for relaying tons of price data information to thousands of protocols using blockchain technology. Not only are they important for price feeds, but they are also an essential component of transaction verification and security. These questions are explained in this document.
26. Is the protocol's Oracle sufficiently documented? (%)
C.R.E.A.M.'s oracle source is documented at this location. It uses Chainlink. The contracts dependent are identified. There is no relevant software function documentation.
27. Is front running mitigated by this protocol? (Y/N)
This protocol documents no front running mitigation techniques. However, as this is primarily a lending protocol, this does not apply.
28. Can flashloan attacks be applied to the protocol, and if so, are those flashloan attack risks mitigated? (Y/N)
This protocol documents no flashloan countermeasures. This is alarming considered the history this protocol has with flashloan attacks.
1C.R.E.A.M. is a Compound fork, thus it is not relevant to display forked contract code.
