# Goal and Purpose

The Diapleo Composite Risk Score is the foundational data point from which other Diapleo intelligence outputs are derived, including wallet risk scanning, protocol screening, and portfolio risk analysis.

#### 1.1 Scale Convention

All Diapleo Composite Risk Scores are expressed on a **0–10 scale** (one decimal place precision), where **0.0** represents the lowest risk and **10.0** represents the highest risk.

Risk levels are derived by inverting the composite score to a safety scale (`safety = 10 - composite_score`) and applying the following thresholds:

| Composite Score | Safety Score | Risk Level |
| --------------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| 0.0 – 1.5       | 8.5 – 10.0   | Very Low   |
| 1.6 – 3.0       | 7.0 – 8.4    | Low        |
| 3.1 – 4.5       | 5.5 – 6.9    | Moderate   |
| 4.6 – 6.0       | 4.0 – 5.4    | Elevated   |
| 6.1 – 10.0      | 1.0 – 3.9    | High       |

#### 1.2 Guiding Principles

* **Reproducibility:** Deterministic and auditable.
* **Transparency:** Methodology is published.
* **Independence:** Protocols cannot pay to improve scores.
* **Conservatism:** In ambiguous cases, default to a higher risk score.
* **Versioning:** Methodology changes trigger recomputation; old scores preserved.
* **Academic grounding:** Informed by peer-reviewed DeFi risk research.

#### 1.3 Scope of Coverage

Applies to DeFi protocols deployed on EVM-compatible networks and Solana that meet minimum data requirements. Protocols below threshold are labeled **"Insufficient Data."**
