Public methodology

How an athlete gets listed — and scored.

No black box. The standards that decide who’s pre-listed, who lists for live trading, and how the JRZY score is built are public. The objective gates are yours to read; the exact signal weights stay adaptive so they can’t be gamed.

The listing ladder

Objective events list you. Nothing before pro trades live.

Listing isn’t an opinion. Each tier is triggered by a verifiable event from an official source. Everything below a pro contract is reservation-only — a watchlist position, not a live market.

Why reservation-only below pro?Most pre-pro athletes are minors, and most won’t turn pro. Reservation positions reward early believers without trading on kids — they convert to a live market only when an objective milestone fires. First-movers keep their place in line; trading turns on at listing.
The JRZY score

One number, eight inputs.

The score blends eight components. Weights shift by an athlete’s stage (a 16-year-old and a 12-year vet aren’t measured the same), and verified data always outweighs self-reported.

Search and social velocity — buzz, before consensus.

Following, reach, and marketability off the court.

Cap / role fitmed
For pros — fit, minutes, and projected role.

Career achievements — weighted up for vets, near-zero for youth.

Integrity & fairness

The rules that keep it honest.

01
Consent first
An athlete (or their guardian) owns and approves their profile. Crowd contributions are suggestions until claimed. Anyone can opt out.
02
Minors are protected
Under-18 athletes are reservation-only, require guardian consent, and never trade live. Contributors handling them are age-gated.
03
No pay-per-action
You earn by being early, right, and verified — never by volume. Likes and follows feed an athlete’s score, not a contributor’s wallet.
04
Earliest verified wins
Discovery credit is timestamped and decaying — the first verified scout earns the premium; later backers earn less. Bad data slashes reputation.
05
Fair listing
IPO pricing is set by book-build; early allocations are capped and non-transferable; lockups and circuit breakers protect the market at launch.

🔍 What’s public vs. adaptive

Public & fixed: the listing ladder, the objective trigger events, the eight score components, the verification tiers, and these integrity rules. Adaptive & protected:the exact weighting of signal inputs — kept dynamic so the score reflects reality and can’t be farmed. Transparency where it builds trust; opacity only where it prevents gaming.
