How this is computed

Smart-money score aggregates the last 14 days of the Smart Money desk — cluster buys (weighted highest), insider purchases (by dollar value) and US Congress buys — deduped so the same filing isn't double-counted. Congress sells subtract.

Crowd score uses the last 7 days of social mentions: total volume plus a 2-day-vs-prior acceleration bonus, with mention-weighted sentiment. Acceleration only counts once a name has real volume behind it.

Both are 0–100. The corners are the signal: high smart + quiet crowd = quiet accumulation; loud crowd + no smart money = crowd trap. This is research, not advice.
