Each methodology page states what a measurement claims, how it is computed, and — the section most vendors omit — what it does not claim. The full specifications live in the repository and are versioned; these pages summarise them and link to the source.

Wallet scorecards

Deflated Sharpe, false discovery rate, and why the best trader in a large pool is usually the luckiest.

Provider reliability

Scoring vendors on accuracy against chain ground truth. Only three of six are structurally scoreable.

Wallet clustering

Seven heuristics voting to a threshold, with per-edge provenance. Zero clusters is the normal result.

Rug score

Composite token risk, and the absence states that must never read as safety.

Temporal alpha

Where in time a trader’s edge lives, gated by permutation tests.

Sentry authority

Detecting authority changes on monitored contracts.

Alpha Ledger

Commit-before-outcome hashing, and the honest status of on-chain anchoring.

Agent signals

Five checks, a citation allowlist, and why most verdicts are no_opinion.

Three principles shared by everything here

A null is not a low score. Every rate carries its denominator, and a table that cannot distinguish “we checked and found nothing” from “we never checked” is considered broken rather than terse.This is enforced in the payloads themselves — see Data states.
Style labels, cluster edges, and provider verdicts all require a statistical licence as well as a magnitude: a permutation p-value, an acceptance threshold, or a scored denominator.A 40-trade account concentrates its P&L by accident. Labelling it “a funding arbitrageur” is a claim about a named stranger, and the bar for making one is deliberately higher than “the number looked big”.
Where something cannot be measured, the exclusion is published rather than the gap being quietly closed. The provider board ranks three of six named vendors and says so, because the other three are the instruments it measures against.
