03 / proprietary indicators · 6 composites

Six signals no wrapper can build.

Composites built from 3,501 articles, ~200 entities, 88 KOL accuracy records, and on-chain primitives. Free to compute for us. Structurally impossible to replicate without our corpus.

coverage

Coverage Index

Σ(mentions × source_weight × recency_decay)

Pre-price coverage surge. Surfaces accumulation windows before the crowd notices.

narrative

Narrative Strength

Eigenvector centrality in co-mention graph

Which narratives are consolidating vs fading. Rolling 7 and 30-day windows.

velocity

Sentiment Velocity

d(sentiment_bucket)/dt, smoothed

Early reversal detection. Signals momentum shifts before price moves.

premium

Editorial Premium

corr(price_return, coverage_delta) lag −1 → +3d

Price move vs coverage delta. The pre-coverage accumulation signal.

kol

KOL Influence

reach × engagement × historical_accuracy

Surfaces actually-predictive KOLs — not just the loud ones. Built from our 88-contact CRM.

risk

Risk Score

w₁·regulatory + w₂·liquidity + w₃·team + w₄·audit

Single-number composite risk. Same schema as investment memos, every entity.
