I feel like many beginners just look at the audit logo to judge "credibility," but that's not enough. First, check the GitHub commits: Is there long-term maintenance? Are issues being responded to? Are key changes just a sudden batch of large commits? I also casually cross-reference the contract address and repo tags, so at least you won't end up with something like "on-chain is v1.2, but you're looking at v1.0"—that kind of awkward situation.

Don't just look at the conclusion page of the audit report; scroll down: Does the scope cover upgraded contracts, routers, permissions? Are the issues marked as "fixed" or "accepted risk"? Are there corresponding commits for the fixes? Also, for upgrade multisigs, the focus isn't on how pretty the signatures look, but on who the signers are, whether they can be replaced, if there's a timelock, and if permissions are too broad—basically, whether rules can be changed at any time.

Recently, modularization and DA layer are being hyped up a lot; developers are excited, but users are often confused... I just follow this straightforward method to do a quick check, at least to avoid being led by "narratives." Don’t ask for inside info; just reproduce the process.
