Whodl's scores explained: Timing, Hype Gap and Room
Every Whodl reply tells the coin's story first and ends with three short scores. The reply's analysis paragraph explains what is driving them for that coin today. This page explains what each score measures in general. None of them is a buy or sell signal or a safety rating.
Timing (0 early, 100 late)
Timing places the coin in its run. It does not predict what the price does next.
| Score | Label |
|---|---|
| 0 to 30 | early |
| 31 to 60 | mid-run |
| 61 to 80 | getting late |
| 81 to 100 | late |
It weighs six measured signals:
- How far the run has gone. This compares where the top wallets got in with the market cap now. At 1x the run is just starting, and from 5x up it is far along. This is the heaviest signal.
- Distance from this week's high. A coin sitting at its high is later in its run than one trading well under it.
- Early sellers. These are top wallets that already sold near the top.
- New arrivals. This is the share of top wallets that showed up in the last 24 hours, which usually means the crowd has arrived.
- X chatter against holder growth. When talk grows much faster than holders, attention is arriving after the move.
- Age and size. A coin a few hours old with a few hundred holders is at a different stage from a week-old coin with thousands.
A score needs at least two signals, including either the run or the high. The weights are first estimates and will be tuned against how scanned coins actually played out.
Hype Gap (50 = same pace)
Hype Gap compares how fast X posts about the coin are growing with how fast its holders are growing.
- 50 means both are growing at the same pace.
- Higher means X posts are growing faster than new buyers.
- Lower means new buyers are growing faster than X posts.
It uses growth rates, not raw counts, so a small coin and a big one read on the same scale. The last 24 hours count most, and the last hour nudges the score when it is available. When many of the posts look like bots, the score is pulled toward 50, because bot posts say less about real attention.
| Score | Reading |
|---|---|
| 0 to 20 | New buyers are growing much faster than X posts |
| 21 to 40 | New buyers are growing faster than X posts |
| 41 to 59 | X posts and new buyers are growing at a similar pace |
| 60 to 79 | X posts are growing faster than new buyers |
| 80 to 100 | X posts are growing much faster than new buyers |
Room (0 fear, 100 greed)
Room reads the mood around one coin right now. Half of it comes from the chain (holder growth, buy pace, and the 24-hour price change as context) and half from X (tone, bot share, and how fast mentions are rising). Posting alone cannot push it around. When the wallet half and the post half disagree, the reply says so, because that gap is often the most telling part.
A high Room is not good news by default. Extreme greed on a coin where the top ten wallets hold most of the supply is what a top looks like. The fear and greed guide has the full formula.
LarpScore
When LarpCheck has already reviewed a coin, the reply shows its LarpScore too. LarpCheck audits the project itself. Whodl reads the wallets and the room. The two look at different things, so read both.
Where the numbers come from
Wallet figures come from the top wallets Whodl reads for each coin, and the reply always says how many that is. They do not cover every trade in the coin. X figures come from the posts Whodl reads, and copy-paste promotion counts as a single voice.
