KRYPTOAKADEMIE24™ / INVESTOR RESEARCH

Research Methodology

See how we assess crypto, tokens, stocks, ETFs, NFTs, commodities, and startups, with weights, sources, and rules for data gaps.

Three metrics with distinct purposes

Rates the documented characteristics from 0 (weak) to 100 (strong). It does not estimate the probability of a positive return.

Rates identified risks from 0 (low) to 100 (substantial). A higher score means more identified risk.

Captures evidence quality and completeness based on provenance, recency, verifiability, and corroboration.

Define the subject, data cutoff, and assessment criteria. Weights in each framework total 100%.
Rate evidence from 0 to 100 for each criterion. 0 indicates unsupported claims, 50 partial evidence, and 100 current, verifiable, corroborated evidence. Document intermediate ratings.
For each metric, sum each rating × its weight, divide by 100, and round to a whole number. Missing evidence contributes zero to the evidence index. If there is no evidence, the index is withheld as well.
If a criterion’s evidence rating is below 60, data is missing, or a material conflict remains unresolved, we withhold the research and risk scores. We show the criterion, its weight, and what evidence is missing.

Each result includes its framework and cutoff date. Scores across asset classes have limited comparability.

Methodology version November 8, 2026

Typical sources Order book snapshots with venue and timestamp, block explorers with block height, and protocol documentation.

Limitations Order books reflect a point in time. Wallet addresses do not reliably identify beneficial owners.

Typical sources Contract data, documented roles and proxy addresses, whitepaper, allocation and unlock schedule.

Limitations Reviewing documented permissions does not replace a code audit. Unlocks do not predict sales.

Typical sources Annual and interim reports, regulatory filings, financial notes, and comparable reporting periods.

Limitations Metrics must fit the business model. Scenarios depend on documented assumptions.

Typical sources Fund prospectus and key information documents, index methodology, published holdings, and documented trading data.

Limitations Fund and trading currencies capture only part of currency exposure. Expenses and tracking difference are assessed separately.

Typical sources Collection and contract identifier, documented sales and wallet holdings, metadata, and published usage terms.

Limitations One wallet can represent many owners. Transaction patterns are clues that need corroboration.

Typical sources Published production and inventory data, exchange contract specifications, and time series with unit and currency.

Limitations Spot, futures, and commodity-linked securities have different risks. Maturities and roll costs are assessed separately.

Typical sources Company registries and records, authorized financial data, contracts, and evidence for business metrics.

Limitations Pipeline, revenue, and cash receipts are different measures. Unconfirmed funding stays outside the base case.
