Methodology

How each Forum Labs verdict is computed, and the evidence you can re-check it against.

We publish the method behind every score, the raw counts it rests on, and the limits it states about itself, because a rating you cannot recompute is marketing. Each page below is the canonical account of one product's methodology.

Token Safety Screen

How the Token Safety Screen turns a token creator's on-chain launch history into a verdict: what it flags, the verdict set, the re-judgeable evidence block, coverage, and the limits it states plainly.
