Security Score Formula

The protocol security score estimates probabilistic risk of future exploit using historical evidence and mitigation behaviour.

Risk Penalty

Weighted sum of percentile-normalized metrics:

Component	Weight	Meaning
Value Hacked	40%	Historical exploit losses
Capital at Risk	30%	Exposure from unresolved findings
Hack Alignment	30%	Similarity to recent exploit techniques

---

Value Hacked

Total USD lost across known exploits.

Represents empirical proof of security failure.

---

Capital at Risk

Estimated exposure from unresolved vulnerabilities.

Derived from technique severity and historical exploit cost averages.

---

Hack Alignment

Measures overlap between unresolved findings and recent real attack techniques.

A protocol matching active exploit patterns is significantly riskier.

---

Mitigation Bonus

Component	Weight	Meaning
Resolution Rate	20%	% vulnerabilities fixed
Audit Frequency	20%	Security maintenance cadence

---

Resolution Rate

Protocols that fix vulnerabilities reduce exploit probability.

Audit Frequency

Frequent auditing reduces time-to-exposure.

---

Risk Tier Classification

Percentile	Risk Level
Top 10%	Very Low
75–90%	Low
50–75%	Medium
Below 50%	High
