Scoring Methodology

How the Token Launch Safety Score (TLSS) works and what it measures.

The TLSS Framework

The Token Launch Safety Score is a 0–100 composite score derived from 22 weighted criteria across five research categories. It measures how safe, transparent, and structurally sound a token launch is—not whether it will go up in price.

Score Bands

Every scored project falls into one of four bands:

0–44

Critical

45–59

Caution

60–74

Fair

75–100

Strong

Categories Scored

Each report evaluates 22 criteria grouped into five categories:

Tokenomics Design Supply structure, allocation fairness, vesting schedules, emissions model, and inflation mechanics.
Launch Mechanics TGE unlock ratio, distribution method, exchange commitments, liquidity provisioning, and sell-pressure modeling.
Team & Transparency Team identifiability, advisory disclosures, corporate structure, audit history, and conflict-of-interest checks.
Market Viability Competitive positioning, product-market fit evidence, comparable token benchmarks, and demand-side analysis.
Community & Social Community size and quality, social engagement authenticity, governance participation, and sentiment analysis.

Multi-Agent Consensus

Each report is produced by three independent research agents running in parallel:

Web & Docs Agent

Crawls public websites, documentation, whitepapers, and on-chain data.

Deep Document Agent

Performs detailed analysis of tokenomics papers, legal filings, and technical architecture.

Social Intel Agent

Evaluates community channels, team social presence, sentiment patterns, and engagement authenticity.

The final score is a consensus of all three agents. Where agents disagree, the report surfaces the disagreement explicitly rather than averaging it away.

Insufficient data = no score. If the pipeline cannot gather enough verifiable evidence to score a project honestly, no score is assigned. We never fabricate data or guess to fill gaps.

Calibration

TLSS scores are calibrated against a reference set of historical token launches with known outcomes. This ensures that a score of 75 today means the same thing it did six months ago, regardless of market conditions.

The TLSS is a research tool, not investment advice. A high score does not guarantee returns; a low score does not guarantee failure. Always do your own research.
