Pending (no complete review yet, or re-review disagrees; not ranked) (1)
Independent re-review (13)
After each review round a separate AI reviewer independently re-reviews a 10% sample (fixed random seed, without reading the first review). A gap of more than 2.0 points in the B or C judgement sums is recorded as "disagree" and the coin stays pending until a re-review agrees. Both raw files are downloadable.

Forward record (30 / 90 / 180 days after listing)
From launch on 2026-10-08, each day's top 30 is appended and never rewritten; when a horizon matures, the coin's return, BTC's return and the equal-weighted return of all candidates on the listing day over the same window are recorded. This is a public test of the method, not a promise; it is empty at first.
No matured records yet.
Method (value_v1)
- Candidates: coins in the spot ∪ perpetual universes whose confirmed stage is basing or advancing; one list per coin. The stage filter handles price momentum.
- A Value capture (35%): only revenue that actually reaches the token counts (buybacks / burns / dividends / staking distributions, DefiLlama's holders-revenue field). Holder yield = annualised 90-day holders revenue ÷ circulating market cap: < 0.5% → 4, 0.5–2% → 6, 2–5% with ≥ 2 consecutive quarters → 8, > 5% with ≥ 4 quarters → 10; revenue not shared with the token → 2; no revenue → 0. The review layer checks the mechanism is really executing: not executing caps at 4, unverified caps at 8.
- B Business (20%): four review questions, 0–2.5 each — one sentence (what it is, who pays); moat; why it still exists in 3/5/10 years; team and governance.
- C Growth & adoption (15%): fee growth (last 90 days ÷ prior 90) 0–2 and TVL growth (data date ÷ 90 days earlier) 0–2.5 computed; active users 0–2.5, token utility, cultural adoption and web3 direction 0–1 each from the review layer with evidence.
- D Valuation & margin of safety (20%): P/E analogue (market cap ÷ annualised holders revenue) vs its own one-year median 0–4; FDV / circulating cap 0–3; holder yield vs a 4% hurdle 0–3.
- E Davis timing (10%): 90-day holders revenue ÷ prior 90 days ≥ 1.5 (earnings accelerating) and P/E analogue ≤ its one-year median (multiple not expanded) → 9; one of the two → 5; neither → 1; no revenue → 0.
- Total = weighted sum × 10 (0–100); coins with A ≤ 2 are capped at 59 and tagged "no revenue"; top 30 by total, ties by A then holder yield.
- Any red line excludes the coin; excluded coins are listed with the reason. Unlock data requires a paid API, so R3 uses the unlock share found by the review layer.
- Judgement layer: an AI reviews under a published prompt; every score cites sources; the signature (model, rules version, prompt hash, date) is on the scorecard and the raw review file is downloadable; re-reviewed monthly or on major events; an independent AI re-reviews a 10% sample and a gap > 2 points is recorded as unstable and published.
- Rules are frozen in value_v1.json; changes start a new version; rankings, scores and the forward record are append-only. No backtest: fundamental data suffers survivorship bias and revisions, and this site does not market backtests.
