What you can check, and what is not measured yet.

The order can be rebuilt

/data/rankings.json publishes 868 scores across 108 categories, each with its dimension scores, the weights, the constants and the formula.

Every build rebuilds each score from that file alone and fails if one does not match.

Commission cannot reach the order

When you follow a link on this site that carries a provider's referral code and then sign up with, deposit at or transact with that provider, and the provider confirms it, the provider pays Simi Ventures GmbH, which operates ChainChoice, a commission.

The modules that compute an order cannot import partner, payout or click data. A check walks their import graph in every build and fails it if one can.

What is not measured yet

46 of the 868 published scores have no quoted source behind them yet.

Outcome accuracy is flagged as not citable until the 30-day follow-up has 30 conclusive answers.

The stated re-read interval

Each category states a re-read interval of 45 days.

The build fails when any category is over 7 days past it.

Who stands behind it

ChainChoice is operated by Simi Ventures GmbH. The people on the roster are its managing directors, Mathias Siemonsmeier and Jürgen Siemonsmeier.

The checks described on this page are scripts. Each one is named below with its source path.

Each check links to its entry on /status, which shows what it printed in the build serving this page.

• Published ranking feed
  Writes public/data/rankings.json: every published score with its dimension scores, weights, constants and formula.
  scripts/generate-rankings-feed.ts
• Ranking verifier
  Rebuilds every published score from rankings.json alone. Rebuilds every displayed score from the published inputs and fails the build on a row that does not match.

• Commercial firewall
  Walks the import graph from every module that decides an order and fails the build if one can reach partner, payout or click data.
  scripts/check-ranking-path-blind.ts · scripts/check-affiliate-blind.mjs
• Review cadence check
  Compares the age of each category’s oldest evidence with the re-read interval its methodology states, and fails the build past the allowance.
  scripts/check-review-cadence-is-kept.ts
• Research drift check
  Fails the build when a shipped criterion score differs from the verified research payload it was authored from.
  scripts/check-pool-matches-research.ts
• Methodology version check
  Fails the build when a page or data file stamps a methodology version the changelog does not contain.

Wallet addresses

The comparison pages have no wallet connection: WalletConnect is not configured, and none of them requests a signature.

An Ethereum address pasted on the account page is stored in this browser’s localStorage, and its ETH and USDC balances are read through ChainChoice’s own server from a public Ethereum node (PublicNode), which sees the address but not your IP address.
