Activity score
Visible work
Research output, assigned coverage, and verification remain visible context around an analyst.
Methodology
We keep two boards. The contribution leaderboard counts published reports, articles, coverage, and editorial verification. The performance leaderboard, once enough locked forecasts have matured, ranks target result, time horizon, excess return versus the benchmark, direction, magnitude, and path risk. Publication volume does not set that rank. Payment does not set either rank.

Outcome scoreTRACK RECORD
Every report snapshots price at publication, then calculates live progress daily and final scores at fixed windows. That number is a track record. Publishing more does not raise it.
Accuracy audit
Published reports keep their original stance, target, timestamp, and disclosure. Follow-ups are new records.
Leaderboard score
The contribution leaderboard is what you see while outcome samples are still thin. It counts research output, coverage, and verification. The performance leaderboard ignores those counts and uses matured outcomes only.

Outcome scoring
When an analyst publishes a report, TECHi records the ticker price from the market-data provider available at that moment. Daily observations show live target progress without editing the report. Later jobs compute the signed return against the snapshot. A +5% move on a bullish call and a -5% move on a bearish call both score as a positive call because the thesis moved in the predicted direction.
Snapshot
We store ticker, stance, price, target, horizon, analyst, and publish time.
Live daily score
Current price, target distance, progress, and near-hit status update without editing the report.
Short horizons
1 day, 7 days, 15 days, and 30 days show early timing quality.
Core horizons
3 months, 6 months, and 1 year test whether the thesis worked over investor-relevant windows.
Long horizons
3, 5, and 10 year checks keep durable calls accountable.
Signed return
Bullish gains and bearish declines both count as positive analyst returns.
Prices used are provider close or last reliable session values. Weekend and holiday horizons roll forward to the next market session.
A report that hits its stated target inside the 3-month window credits the analyst $5.00 in the ledger. Paid once per report, no re-scoring.
Readers can subscribe at Pro ($19/mo) or Elite ($49/mo). TECHi keeps a 20.0% platform fee; the rest routes through Stripe Connect.
