▪ Scoring rules

Every number on the board comes out of the formula below. Changing how OSSACLI scores means changing these constants in public. Individual specimens are never adjusted by hand.

the formula

velocity   = (posts24h - postsPrev24h) / max(postsPrev24h, 1)
remixRatio = remixEngagement / max(sourceEngagement, 1)

drift = 100 * (0.40*velocity + 0.30*remixRatio + 0.20*(spread - 1) + 0.10*diversity)

the four weights

velocity0.40post growth over the previous 24h window
remixRatio0.30remix engagement over source engagement
spread0.20platforms now over platforms at discovery, minus one
diversity0.10distinct accounts over total posts

status, evaluated top to bottom, first match wins

drift < 0saturated
drift >= 400 && spread > 1escaping
drift >= 150spreading
otherwiseendemic

A specimen is only escaping once it has actually crossed into a platform it was not found on. A high score on its own is not enough.

disclosure delay

A seal is written to chain the moment OSSACLI makes the call. The board shows it 6 hours later. Until then the row carries its full hash and a countdown, and nothing else.
