• Best exchange tier The best exchange tier the token has reached, ranked by YOUR exchange list.

Team & development Pro

• Public team Whether the project's website names the people behind it: at least two personal LinkedIn profiles, or a team section with named people or their personal X accounts that we checked by hand. Code on GitHub doesn't count here (see the development data points). Names are in the token's detail panel.
• Built before launch How long the team's GitHub existed before the token launched.
• Active developers Different people who committed code in the last 180 days.
• Commits (180d) Code changes pushed in the last 180 days.
• Development trend Commits in the last 180 days divided by the 180 days before.
• Website status Whether the project's website responds.
• Token age Days since the token launched (or first listed, if the launch date is unknown).

Backers & launch Pro

• Launchpad tier The best launchpad the token sold on, ranked by YOUR launchpad list.
• Investors How strong the project's investors are, 0 to 100. The best investor sets the level (tier 1 = 60, tier 2 = 40, tier 3 = 22, tier 4 = 8, only unrated = 2); more investors add a bonus that shrinks with each one and counts better tiers more, up to +40. One tier-1 fund (68) outranks 100 tier-4 ones (11). Filter by the best investor's tier. Names are in the token's detail panel.
