The assets on the radar in this area
No asset from this area is on the radar yet. We add them only after scoring them on the same 14 conditions, with verifiable data. Until then we show no rankings or figures.
How we apply the 14 conditions here
The same algorithm as for crypto, companies and commodities: each condition gets a score from 0 to 10 and is met from 7. The weights are identical in every domain; only what we measure in practice changes.
| # | Condition | What we measure | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Actually used | Real revenue, users or demand, not promises. | 16% |
| C2 | Launch from strength | The best don’t rush: they launch when ready. | 6% |
| C3 | Healthy funding | No investors who can sell heavily right away. | 6% |
| C4 | Attracts skilled people | Talent, partners and builders move toward it. | 8% |
| C5 | Real customers | Natural activity, not bought or subsidised. | 6% |
| C6 | Credible team | A record of finishing things, no scandals. | 8% |
| C7 | Well-distributed supply | Few shares or tokens waiting to flood the market. | 8% |
| C8 | Organic community | People who came for the product, not quick gains. | 4% |
| C9 | Obvious problem | Explainable in one sentence. | 6% |
| C10 | Good entry price | Room to grow versus rivals or versus cost. | 6% |
| C11 | Balanced media | Media euphoria has historically marked the top. | 6% |
| C12 | Healthy price and volume | A steady price while usage grows. | 6% |
| C13 | Few on the same bet | The less crowded, the better. | 6% |
| C14 | Low risks | No lawsuits, scandals or major geopolitical risk. | 8% |
