Risk Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored independently and weighted to calculate the total risk score.
Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
8/25
32%
How far the price sits below its peak. Deep drawdowns are common to abandoned and post-collapse tokens, but also to assets in a prolonged bear market — on its own this measures price history, not conduct.
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals
1/20
5%
24-hour volume compared with market cap. Very high turnover can reflect genuine news-driven trading or inflated volume; very low turnover means the price is rarely tested. We measure the ratio and cannot attribute it to any party.
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
3/20
15%
Free float (circulating vs total/max supply). A low float means much of the supply has yet to reach the market, so the price is set by a small share of it and future releases could dilute holders. Estimated from reported supply; holder data read from the chain is scored separately.
Not contributing (3): Market Cap Risk, Price Volatility, Transparency Gaps — 0 points.
