What this group has in common

Large enough to have a real product and a real user base, small enough that a single catalyst can reprice the asset. Depth starts to matter here, and the framework scores it. Across the 39 tokens in this band the median composite is 120 of 250, running from 76 to 168. Size is the only thing every member has in common, which is what makes the spread of scores inside it worth looking at.

Inside this band, composite score and market capitalisation correlate 0.07. That is no relationship at all. Once the size bracket is fixed, being larger says nothing about scoring better, which means the ordering below disagrees with the ordering by market cap almost everywhere, and the disagreement is the reason to read it.

Figures are the mean 1-to-10 score across all 39 members of the group, so they describe the group as a whole rather than any single token.

Ranked members

Ordered by composite score. The rank column is the position across the whole 251-token universe, not within this group, so it shows where each member stands against everything else that was rated.

Dilution is eventual supply divided by circulating supply, derived from supply counts rather than from a fully diluted valuation, so it does not move with price. A 1x reading means the float is already complete.
