How To Read Reports

This page explains how to interpret the main fields that appear in Rug Radar outputs.

1. Risk Score​

  • 0-25: Low Risk
  • 26-50: Medium Risk
  • 51-75: High Risk
  • 76-100: Extreme Risk

Higher score means more visible risk, not guaranteed failure.

Interpret the score as a compression layer:

  • low scores suggest fewer obvious structural problems
  • medium scores usually mean mixed quality
  • high and extreme scores mean multiple risk factors are stacking

2. Confidence​

Confidence reflects data completeness for that run.

  • higher confidence means more expected upstream sources returned usable data
  • lower confidence means you are operating with partial visibility
  • low confidence is not a bullish signal; it is uncertainty

3. Red Flags vs Bullish Signals​

  • red flags describe what can go wrong
  • redFlagDetails adds a short explanation of why each flag matters
  • bullish signals describe what currently looks healthier
  • neither section is a price prediction

You should care most when several red flags point to the same failure mode, for example:

  • thin liquidity plus concentrated holders
  • active mint authority plus a very new token
  • honeypot signal plus poor liquidity

4. Source Notes​

  • every result includes source availability metadata
  • analyze_token also includes meta.sectionSources so you can trace each section back to its upstream providers
  • every source can also include freshness metadata
  • unavailable sources are listed explicitly
  • if key sources are missing, interpret the score conservatively

Freshness labels are a practical read on how old the source payload is inside Rug Radar:

  • live: very recent
  • recent: still usable, but not immediate
  • stale: old enough that a re-run is worth considering before acting

5. Token Age​

Token age is currently derived from the DEX pair creation time. It is useful, but it is not the same thing as a canonical mint-creation timestamp.

6. Holder Metrics​

The most important holder fields are:

  • top10Percent: how much of supply the top 10 wallets control
  • largestHolder: the largest visible wallet share
  • concentration: a simplified label derived from top 10 concentration

High concentration does not always mean a rug, but it does mean distribution risk is real.

7. Contract Fields​

The highest-signal contract fields are:

  • isHoneypot
  • mintAuthority
  • freezeAuthority
  • lpUnlocked
  • isVerified

These are structural controls, not market sentiment. They deserve heavier weight than short-term price movement.

8. What To Do With A Mixed Report​

If a report shows both healthy and unhealthy signals:

  1. look at the red flags first
  2. check confidence
  3. compare the token against an alternative
  4. re-run after a short interval if the market is moving fast
