What separates them

The framework rates KAS WATCH and YGG PASS. Two tokens close enough to compare do not have to land in the same band, and where they do not, the divergence table below is where the split comes from.
3 variables separate them by 3 points or more. KAS is clear on Regulatory Safety (8 against 5), BTC Alpha Potential (6 against 3) and Social Mindshare (7 against 4).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, Buyback and Burn, Real Staking Yield, TVL Trend, Institutional Adoption. A weakness both sides share is not a reason to prefer either. It is a reason to check whether the category itself carries the problem.
KAS is valued at $1.11B against $22.5M for YGG, a 49.3x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
All 25 variables, head to head
Both tokens were scored by the same framework in the same pass, so the numbers are directly comparable. What a comparison adds over two separate pages is the gap: a 6 against a 6 is a non-event, a 9 against a 3 is the reason to hold one and not the other.
