Overview (0–100)
A KOL’s profile score is built from five components:- Performance (0–40)
- Risk (0–20)
- Track record (0–20)
- Influence (0–10)
- Legitimacy (0–10)
- performance matters most
- risk and consistency matter almost as much
- influence and legitimacy help contextualize the profile
Component details
Performance (0–40)
Measures outcomes across calls, using call scores as the raw material. Typical signals include:- average overall score
- distribution of medals / strong calls vs weak calls
- consistency across multiple calls
Risk (0–20)
Penalizes “prints but nukes followers” patterns. Typical signals include:- drawdown behavior after calls
- frequency of low-scoring calls
- “red rate” patterns (many weak outcomes)
Track record (0–20)
Rewards reliability over time. Typical signals include:- number of tracked calls (sample size)
- recency and sustained activity
Influence (0–10)
Adds light context without letting audience size dominate. Typical signals include:- reach proxies (e.g., follower size bands)
- repeat visibility / distribution patterns
Influence is intentionally capped to avoid a “bigger account always wins” outcome.
Legitimacy (0–10)
Adds basic credibility / sanity checks, such as:- account age
- follower-to-following ratio
- verification status (where applicable)
Tier mapping
- S: 85+
- A: 70+
- B: 55+
- C: 40+
- D: below 40
How to use profile tiers (fast)
- S / A: generally reliable signal (still check the latest calls)
- B: mixed; can have good calls but needs scrutiny
- C / D: high variance / low reliability; treat as entertainment until proven otherwise
Why it matters
A KOL with one great call should not outrank a consistent performer. Profile scoring combines performance, risk, activity, and legitimacy so:- consistent performers rise over time
- high-risk patterns become visible
- followers have a faster way to choose who deserves attention
