Methodology
How the score is computed
The signal score is rule-based and fully documented — ten gates, published weights, deterministic output. No model you can’t audit, no inputs you can’t see.
Reading the number
70–100 · Strong
Structure passed cleanly. Signals fire from this tier.
40–69 · Neutral
Tradeable but flawed — read the gate breakdown before acting.
0–39 · Weak
Failed or barely passed key gates. Shown for completeness, flagged everywhere.
The ten gates
weights sum to 100
Honeypot simulation
A sell is simulated against the contract. Failure is disqualifying — the token never reaches the feed.
LP lock & burn
Locker and burn coverage, weighted by duration and share of liquidity locked. Approaching unlocks decay the points.
Holder concentration
Top-10 share, sniper clusters at block zero, fresh-wallet ratio among buyers.
Buy/sell tax
Effective taxes by simulation. Above 25% counts as a honeypot; a sell tax far above the buy tax flags a sell-trap and caps the score.
Liquidity depth
How much size the pool absorbs within tolerable slippage, relative to market cap.
Mint authority
Open mint functions cap the total score at 40 regardless of other gates.
Contract verification
Verified source, proxy pattern analysis, privileged-function inventory.
Deployer / ownership
Renounced ownership and deployer track record — rugs, abandons, clean exits.
Momentum
Buy pressure, unique buyers, volume acceleration over rolling windows.
Price trend
The shape of the move across 1h/6h/24h — rewards sustained, orderly action; penalizes dumps and parabolic blow-off tops.
Hard gates disqualify outright. Two structural caps apply on top of the weights: open mint authority caps the score at 40, and fully unlocked LP caps it at 55. Scores recompute continuously as chain state changes.
Score vs. signal
Score
A continuous reading of on-chain structure, 0–100, recomputed as the chain moves. It answers: how solid is this token right now?
Signal
A discrete event — entry, exit, or risk — fired when score and market conditions cross documented thresholds. It answers: what just changed?
