Question 1

Who are the MoonBase analysts?

Accepted Answer

MoonBase analysts are independent domain experts — investors, diligence professionals, security researchers, and former regulators — who pass a structured vetting process before joining the network. Each analyst publishes a reputation score and verification history.

Question 2

How are analysts compensated?

Accepted Answer

Analysts earn a majority share of each report fee plus reputation bonuses tied to peer-review outcomes. Compensation terms are published in the analyst handbook and updated as the network scales.

Question 3

What is the MoonBase analyst leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

The leaderboard ranks active analysts by reputation score, accuracy of past calls, on-time delivery, and customer ratings. It updates weekly with full transparency on the underlying weights.

Question 4

How often is the leaderboard updated?

Accepted Answer

Reputation scores update weekly; the public leaderboard rerenders at the same cadence. Significant rank changes trigger optional analyst-subscriber email alerts.

Question 5

How is reputation score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Reputation aggregates accuracy of past calls (40%), client ratings (25%), peer-review pass rate (20%), on-time delivery (10%), and disclosure hygiene (5%).

Question 6

Can analysts game the leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Anti-gaming measures include peer-review weighting, accuracy-over-time floors, and outlier detection. Suspected manipulation triggers manual review and potential delisting.

Question 7

Does leaderboard rank affect analyst rates?

Accepted Answer

Top-quartile analysts can charge higher rates; rates are set by the analyst, not by MoonBase. Most top-ranked analysts charge 2–3× the median.

Question 8

Can I filter the leaderboard by vertical?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter by vertical, region, stage, language, and pack type to find the right analyst for a specific engagement.

Question 9

What's the highest reputation score ever?

Accepted Answer

The highest current reputation score is 98. Scores above 95 typically reflect 3+ years on the platform with consistent peer-review pass rates above 95%.

Question 10

How do new analysts rank initially?

Accepted Answer

New analysts start with a provisional score derived from onboarding sample reports. The provisional score firms up after 5 client engagements with peer review.

Question 11

Can I see an analyst's full history?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each analyst profile shows public reports, on-time rate, dispute outcomes, and a reputation timeline. Private engagements appear only to the original client.

Question 12

Are leaderboard ranks public?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for analysts who opt in. Analysts who prefer pseudonymity appear on the leaderboard under a verified handle without their real name.

Question 13

How are tie-breaks handled?

Accepted Answer

Tied reputation scores break by recent engagement volume, then by peer-review pass rate. Top-10 positions never tie publicly.

Question 14

Can analyst firms appear on the leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multi-person firms can roll up under a firm handle, with individual analysts visible on the firm page.

Question 15

What happens if an analyst is removed from the platform?

Accepted Answer

Removed analysts disappear from the leaderboard immediately. Their past reports stay live but are flagged with the removal reason and date.

Question 16

Does the leaderboard include all-time stats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Toggle 'all-time' to see lifetime engagement count, total reports delivered, and average dispute resolution time.

Question 17

Can I export the leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Institutional customers can export the full leaderboard with all stats as CSV from any leaderboard page.

Question 18

How are vertical leaderboards calculated?

Accepted Answer

Vertical leaderboards include only analysts with ≥5 reports in that vertical, ranked by vertical-specific accuracy and peer-review pass rate.

Question 19

Is there a regional leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Regional leaderboards exist for North America, Europe, MENA, APAC, and LatAm, plus an explicit jurisdiction filter for regulatory-sensitive mandates.

Question 20

Does the leaderboard show pricing?

Accepted Answer

Each analyst's rate range is shown on their profile. The leaderboard view shows reputation and engagement stats; rates appear on the profile drill-down.

The analysts whose calls actually move alpha.
