Verifying dashboard numbers
A repeatable procedure for taking one figure from an aggregator and reproducing it from mint state, pool accounts and transaction history, including what to do when the numbers refuse to agree.
Read the pageVerification: checking a reported number against the chain
Verification is the part most readers skip, usually because they assume it needs infrastructure. It does not. Almost every figure on a token page can be reproduced from three public sources: the mint account, the pool accounts, and the transaction history of both.
The two pages in this section are procedural. The first walks one reported figure back to its primary source and tells you what to do when the two do not agree, which is the normal outcome rather than the exception. The second turns those checks into a scorecard you fill in before you have an opinion, so the record is evidence rather than justification.
Both pages assume you can read a block explorer page without help. Neither requires you to write code, although both note where a script saves time.
2 pages in this section
Procedures for reproducing a dashboard figure from primary sources, recording what you checked, and scoring a token on evidence you gathered yourself rather than on a badge someone else applied.
Building a token scorecard
A scorecard template built from checks you can perform yourself, with pass conditions written before you look at the token, so the result is a record rather than a rationalisation.
Read the pageWhat verification depends on
You cannot verify a number whose definition you have not pinned down, and you cannot interpret a verified number without knowing which patterns are ordinary. That is why this section sits last rather than first.
Metrics
Each page takes a single figure from a token dashboard, states its formula, names the inputs it depends on, and shows what the same figure looks like when the inputs are manipulated.
Signals
Distribution, flow direction and wallet counts are pattern data, not verdicts. These pages set out what each pattern can support, what it cannot, and the alternative explanation you must rule out first.
