# Scoring Strategy (Weights & Final Score)

## Scoring Strategy (Weights & Final Score)

### Overview

Each category in this framework is scored individually on a scale of **1 to 10**.\
To generate a final score, we apply **weighted values** to each category based on how critical it is to a project’s long-term success.

***

### 🧠 Category Weights (Out of 100%)

| Category                        | Weight |
| ------------------------------- | ------ |
| Tokenomics Fundamentals         | 15%    |
| Team Transparency & Credibility | 15%    |
| Community & Social Presence     | 10%    |
| On-Chain Usage & Metrics        | 10%    |
| Competitive Landscape           | 10%    |
| Narrative Fit                   | 10%    |
| Revenue Model & Sustainability  | 10%    |
| Token Utility & Necessity       | 10%    |
| Backers & Integrations          | 5%     |
| Regulatory Risk                 | 5%     |

> You can adjust weights depending on what narrative you’re targeting (e.g. for DeFi, you might weigh Revenue & Token Utility higher)

### 🧪 Example Formula

```
Final Score =  
(T1 × 0.15) +  
(T2 × 0.15) +  
(T3 × 0.10) +  
(T4 × 0.10) +  
(T5 × 0.10) +  
(T6 × 0.10) +  
(T7 × 0.10) +  
(T8 × 0.10) +  
(T9 × 0.05) +  
(T10 × 0.05)
```

Where:

* `T1 = Tokenomics`
* `T2 = Team`
* `T3 = Community`
* `T4 = Usage`
* `T5 = Competitive Edge`
* `T6 = Narrative Fit`
* `T7 = Revenue Model`
* `T8 = Token Utility`
* `T9 = Backers`
* `T10 = Regulatory Risk`

### 📊 Interpreting the Final Score

| Final Score | Interpretation                              |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| 8.5 – 10    | Strong fundamentals, likely undervalued     |
| 7 – 8.4     | Solid, narrative-fit, monitor closely       |
| 5 – 6.9     | Mixed fundamentals, dig deeper before entry |
| Below 5     | Weak foundation, high risk                  |

### 📝 Final Tip

Always document **why** each score was given.\
The value of this framework increases when paired with your notes, research, and ongoing tracking.

Use the evaluation to flag:

* ✅ Green lights: strong execution or moat
* 🚩 Red flags: risk of dilution, scam potential, overvaluation
* 🧠 Personal thesis: Is it a short-term narrative play or long-term conviction?
