Confidence rationale
Confidence is computed from source coverage, cross-venue agreement, baseline depth, and independent verification. This run scored 0.6 (moderate).
Limitations
- DEX price data is unavailable (dex_price_usd: null), limiting direct price verification across venues.
- Hourly and 24-hour transaction counts (txns_h1, txns_24h) are not captured, obscuring trading frequency patterns.
- Pair count is unavailable, preventing assessment of market fragmentation.
- Failed DEX screener source may indicate incomplete market coverage.
- Premium baseline calculation method is not specified; divergence significance depends on historical norms.
- Top holder composition (pools vs. custodial vs. individual) is not distinguished, affecting interpretation of concentration risk.
- Largest-account concentration includes liquidity pools and custodial accounts; it is not a beneficial-owner distribution.
