A criterion with nothing published scores 0, so a low score often means missing evidence rather than poor work. The headline 2.4 is the weighted mean of these marks — see our methodology. Not financial advice.
The evidence behind each mark
Scoring rules →| Criterion | Mark | What we found | Source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published research and models · 25% | 5.0 | Publishes blog articles on token design and launch failures (latest March 2026) without models, code or datasets. | blockphrase.com ↗ | 22 September 2026 |
| Client-confirmed work · 20% | 0 · not published | No named client case studies are published; the case studies page shows none and says details are anonymised under NDA. | blockphrase.com ↗ | 22 September 2026 |
| Recent economics work · 20% | 0 · not published | No dated economics work for a named client was found; blog posts, tools and security-only audits are not counted. | none | 22 September 2026 |
| Conflict-of-interest disclosure · 15% | 0.0 | No conflict-of-interest policy or compensation disclosure found on the about, services or home pages; the only related text is a values line about taking engagements the firm believes in. | blockphrase.com ↗ | 22 September 2026 |
| Named team · 10% | 6.0 | Founder and CEO Ashish Homkar and Head of Blockchain Development Aditya Patil are named with LinkedIn profiles, but no credentials beyond short bios are given. | blockphrase.com ↗ | 22 September 2026 |
| Transparent terms · 10% | 5.0 | Describes deliverables and a four-step engagement process (analysis, design, stress testing, launch advisory) but no timelines or prices. | blockphrase.com ↗ | 22 September 2026 |
What we liked
- Tokenomics service page describes a defined method: deterministic models, stochastic and Monte Carlo simulation, Python agent-based stress tests
- Combines token design with smart-contract development and regulatory work (MiCA, VARA)
- Founder and head of development are named with LinkedIn links
Where it falls short
- Case studies page is empty; its data endpoint returns no entries, so no client work can be checked
- No published models, code or research beyond blog articles
- No prices, timelines or conflict-of-interest disclosures
