AGORA

How the Agora Score works

Six dimensions, each scored 0–100 from observable data, combined into one number with fixed, platform-wide weights - the same for every athlete and every user. The score feeds a replacement-surplus fair-value curve. One methodology, applied to everyone. That is the product.

The six dimensions

The exact weights and curve coefficients are held by the platform and are not published - fair value only means something when nobody can tilt it, and nobody can trade against a model they can reverse-engineer.

Production

Per-game output, normalized within position archetypes. High-school output is discounted for level of competition; the pro pathway carries a premium.

Availability

Games played as a share of the season - reliability is investable.

Recruiting

National composite rank and rating - the market's consensus prior.

Audience

Following, engagement rate, and 90-day growth - commercial reach.

Commercial

Verified NIL activity and a 0–100 momentum index. Never dollar amounts.

Runway

Development years remaining before peak - youth is optionality.

From score to suggested fair value

  1. Each athlete is scored 0–100 on the six dimensions above from observable data.
  2. The dimensions are combined into a single Agora Score with fixed, platform-wide weights.
  3. Only score above a replacement level carries market value - bench-level output prices near the floor.
  4. Above replacement, value rises convexly, so elite scores separate sharply from merely good ones. A fragile season is discounted once - injuries are drawdowns, not skill judgments.
  5. The result is a suggested fair value. The market - buyers and sellers - sets the traded price around it, and prices gap only on labeled news: draft moves, injuries, signature games.
