# Overview - Evaluating Crypto Projects (Undervalued vs Overvalued)

## Before The Pump - Crypto Project Scoring Framework

### Introduction

Evaluating whether a crypto project is **undervalued** or **overvalued** requires a holistic fundamental analysis. This involves examining a wide range of factors, from economic design and on-chain data to team credibility and market narratives, to judge the project’s *intrinsic value* relative to its current market price.

The goal is to determine if the asset’s fundamentals justify a higher or lower valuation.\
Below is a detailed framework with expert-level criteria across key domains.

Each section outlines:

* ✅ What to evaluate
* 🔍 How to gather data (using mostly free public tools)
* 🧠 How to score the project on a 1–10 scale

We then explain how to combine these sub-scores into an overall valuation score.

This system is built to be actionable so you can flag when a project’s **fundamentals don’t match the hype**.

### Who This Is For

* Builders who want to position their project clearly
* Crypto researchers looking for unbiased scoring tools
* Early-stage investors tired of chasing noise

If there’s value, we’ll find it.\
If it’s empty, we’ll call it.
