Public methodology

How an athlete gets listed — and scored.

No black box. The standards that decide who's pre-listed, who lists for live trading, and how the JRZY score is built are public. The objective gates are yours to read; the exact signal weights stay adaptive so they can't be gamed.

The listing ladder · JOXSTOX

"Listing" means going live on JOXSTOX — not your JRZY profile.

Every athlete has a free JRZY profile the moment they claim it. Listing is different: it's becoming a tradable market on JOXSTOX, which requires economic viability — real demand a walk-on doesn't have. You list when an objective event fires, or when you clear a viability override. Below that, you're reservation-only.

Free JRZY profile
Anyone claims & verifies — stats, tape, score. Not listed; not tradable.
Source · JRZY verification + consent
JRZY only
Viability override · pre-listed
Not pro yet, but economically viable: projected NBA / G-League pick, a blue-chip recruit (5-star, McDonald's All-American), or a popularity/demand threshold — scanned & combined from recruiting sources, projections & signal.
Source · rankings + projection + demand
Reservation · review

D1 roster / commit
Verified NCAA roster alone doesn't list you — a walk-on isn't economically viable. Lists only if you also clear the viability override (demand/projection).

Reservation unless viable

Pro contract
Signed NBA / WNBA / G-League contract — an economically-viable pro level. (Generic overseas pros aren't auto-listed — see below.)

Why a viability gate + overrides? JOXSTOX is a market, so a listing needs real demand behind it — a D1 walk-on isn't economically viable, but a projected pick or a blue-chip recruit (5-star / McDonald's All-American) absolutely is (they reliably matriculate to the NBA or a G-League roster). Objective pro events auto-list; everyone else lists only by clearing the viability override, scanned & combined from recruiting rankings, draft projections, and live demand.
Overseas & lower-tier pros = a JRZY strength, not a JOXSTOX listing. There are thousands of EuroLeague / overseas players who aren't economically viable to trade — but they're hugely valuable to discover. So they get rich JRZY profiles & scouting infrastructure (coaches badly need a better way to find and organize overseas talent), without auto-listing on the public market. JRZY = find everyone. JOXSTOX = trade the viable few.
Listing is a badge of honor — and it's basically permanent. Getting listed means you were economically viable at least once; that fact doesn't expire. Markets are perpetual — a player who's drafted, washes out, resurfaces in the EuroLeagues and builds an active card market stays listed and is entitled to their profile. If interest fades the market just goes quiet — more a living Wikipedia page than a hot ticket, but still worth keeping. There's no refund and no real reason to delist; true removal is a rare edge case (compliance, integrity/fraud, or opt-out), settled at last traded price from float — never a platform guarantee. Anyone who's ever met the bar can list to validate their record and re-activate whatever market they have.
The JRZY score

One number, eight inputs.

The score blends eight components. Weights shift by an athlete's stage (a 16-year-old and a 12-year vet aren't measured the same), and verified data always outweighs self-reported.

Verified box scores & efficiency from official feeds.

Search and social velocity — buzz, before consensus.

NIL, sponsorship and brand interest in motion.

Integrity & fairness

The rules that keep it honest.

01
Consent first
An athlete (or their guardian) owns and approves their profile. Crowd contributions are suggestions until claimed. Anyone can opt out.
02
Minors are protected
Under-18 athletes are reservation-only, require guardian consent, and never trade live. Contributors handling them are age-gated.
03
No pay-per-action
You earn by being early, right, and verified — never by volume. Likes and follows feed an athlete's score, not a contributor's wallet.
04
Earliest verified wins
Discovery credit is timestamped and decaying — the first verified scout earns the premium; later backers earn less. Bad data slashes reputation.
05
Fair listing
IPO pricing is set by book-build; early allocations are capped and non-transferable; lockups and circuit breakers protect the market at launch.

🔍 What's public vs. adaptive

Public & fixed: the listing ladder, the objective trigger events, the eight score components, the verification tiers, and these integrity rules. Adaptive & protected: the exact weighting of signal inputs — kept dynamic so the score reflects reality and can't be farmed. Transparency where it builds trust; opacity only where it prevents gaming.
