This is a bitcoin service delivered in a low trust manner where the bitcoin user need only utilize software they run and control for the services and can protect themselves from malicious third parties with very little trust or consequence from peers. This is the gold standard of Bitcoin service. Examples include lightning routing, lightning liquidity marketplaces like pool, coinjoins like joinmarket, coinswaps, submarine swaps like loop and others.
This is your typical business or website where you pay for the good or service before you get it and have little to no recourse if the service is not provided. Pretty normal, you're risking whatever you're spending in a transaction. Examples include every merchant business accepting bitcoin, the merchants using BTCPay Server and non-custodial exchanges like bullbitcoin. This is also a very good model with limited risk, but often little recourse.

This is a bitcoin service which spreads responsibility across a number of actors for success or failure. It's not nearly as good as trusting yourself and relies on third parties to protect your interests. Examples include Liquid, RSK peg, Multisig custodians, BISQ escrow. These services often delve into shitcoins and when they do should be avoided like any other. The risk in these cases is often not exceptionally limited, include custody, and your recourse relies on third parties if any exists at all.
