What the numbers say

PERP scores 108 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 100th of 251 rated tokens and inside the upper half of the set. The framework verdict is WATCH.

The score rests on P/S Multiple 5/10, 38th of 251, Insider Selling 5/10, 42nd of 251, BTC Alpha Potential 4/10, 45th of 251 and Holder Concentration 4/10, 58th of 251.

100% of eventual supply is already circulating, so vesting is not a live risk for PERP. Price has to be justified by demand rather than absorbed against a cliff.

PERP trades 99.92% below its all-time high of $24.40. Recovering that level is a 1,250x move, not a 99.92% one, which is the arithmetic most drawdown charts hide.

The framework score gained 108 points against the previous pass (0 to 108). Revisions of this size follow a change in the underlying variables, not a change in price.

25-variable breakdown

Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.
