Cardano Project Intelligence
Project Intelligence explains the Cardano projects behind the tokens: what they build, how they work, how they make money, who is behind them and what the documented risks are.
Token metrics alone do not explain a project. Project Intelligence covers the layer above the market data — the protocol, the product, the business model and the ecosystem context — using a curated registry of verified project information rather than open-ended scraping.

Report Structure
- Project Overview — what the project is and what it does
- Token — the project's token and its key measured metrics
- How It Works — the mechanics of the protocol or product
- Key Features — what the project actually ships
- Business Model — how the project generates value
- Token Role — what the token does inside the system
- Tokenomics — allocation, supply model, unlocks and emissions when verified
- Network Participation — staking or governance participation where applicable
- Ecosystem & Adoption — infrastructure and current adoption context
- Roadmap — with the date the roadmap information reflects
- Team & Community — curated founders, roles and community context
- Risk Notes — documented risks
- Official Links — verified project links
- AI Companion Assessment — a project-level interpretation
Every section is conditional. A project without documented tokenomics gets no Tokenomics section, and a project without curated team data gets no Team & Community section.
Verified Data, Not Narrative
Project data is curated from official documentation and verified against on-chain reality where the two overlap. Allocation percentages are reconciled against canonical total supply, and conflicting or incomplete documented distributions are flagged rather than smoothed over.
Team & Community Context
Where curated data exists, reports include founders and notable contributors with their role and public X handle, plus neutral community context. People are stored once and referenced by project, so a founder involved in several Cardano projects is recognised across all of them.
Relationship to Token Intelligence
Project and Token Intelligence share the same source of truth for token and tokenomics data. Project reports stay project-focused; token reports stay market- and supply-focused. The split exists so neither report repeats the other.
