Do not collapse different data types into one score

Clanker token markets and Virtuals agent networks expose different primitives. Combining everything into one opaque number creates confusion and poor decisions.

Keep source-specific metrics visible, then normalize only where semantics align.

A cleaner comparison stack

Use source filters first. Within Clanker, sort by market cap or quality score. Within Virtuals, sort by revenue and growth.

For mixed views like homepage leaderboard, label source clearly and keep ranking logic explicit.

What this means for operators

Operators should treat source context as a first-class input, not a cosmetic tag.

Better source-aware filtering leads to better prospecting and fewer false positives from category mismatch.
