Question 1

What does the MoonBase Compare tool do?

Accepted Answer

Compare lets you place two or more scored assets side-by-side across every dimension of the MoonScore, including sub-scores, evidence counts, and recent score deltas.

Question 2

How many assets can I compare at once?

Accepted Answer

Up to 4 assets in a single view on Pro and Institutional plans, and 2 on the free tier. Saved comparisons can be revisited or shared.

Question 3

Can I compare a private startup to a public company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scores are normalized so cross-class comparisons are meaningful, with a clear indicator showing which dimensions had partial evidence on the private side.

Question 4

Can I export a comparison?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Comparisons export as PDF and CSV with all sub-scores, dimension definitions, and evidence references included.

Question 5

Are comparisons updated live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If either underlying MoonScore changes, the comparison view re-renders the deltas automatically the next time you load it.

Question 6

Can I share a comparison publicly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — provided every asset in the comparison has a public report. Private reports remain visible only to their owners.

Question 7

What's the best way to use Compare for diligence?

Accepted Answer

Use Compare to triage shortlist candidates against your existing portfolio leader. Significant gaps on specific dimensions surface the questions to ask in the next investor call.

Question 8

Does Compare work for tokens and protocols?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On-chain protocols can be compared by treasury runway, holder concentration, governance activity, and the rest of the standard dimensions.

Question 9

Can I add notes to a comparison?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each comparison supports per-dimension comments, accessible to teammates with shared workspace access.

Question 10

How is the 'winner' chosen in a comparison?

Accepted Answer

Compare does not declare a winner. The view highlights statistically meaningful gaps (>15 points) and lets the user weigh dimensions according to their own thesis.

Question 11

Can I save a comparison?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saved comparisons appear under /compare/saved and can be re-run, exported, or shared with a one-click link.

Question 12

Does Compare support historical snapshots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Toggle the time-machine view to compare assets as of any prior date back to their first MoonScore.

Question 13

Is there an API for comparisons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. POST a list of slugs to /v1/compare to receive a structured comparison object including deltas, evidence counts, and dimension narratives.

Question 14

Can I compare assets across different verticals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the comparison flags dimension-weighting differences so you don't accidentally compare apples to oranges.

Question 15

Does Compare show market price data?

Accepted Answer

For tokens, yes — last-30-day price and volume sit alongside the score. For private companies, last-round valuation and run-rate revenue (when disclosed) are shown.

Question 16

How fresh is the data in Compare?

Accepted Answer

Compare uses the most recent MoonScore for each asset. The view shows the freshness indicator next to each asset's slug.

Question 17

Is there a free version of Compare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier allows 2-asset comparisons with sub-score views; export and time-machine features require a paid plan.

Question 18

Can I compare an asset to its sector average?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose the 'sector benchmark' option to compare a single asset to the median score across its vertical and stage cohort.

Question 19

Does Compare include peer-reviewed scores only?

Accepted Answer

By default no — Compare includes all scored assets. Filter to 'peer-reviewed only' to limit comparison to assets with a second analyst sign-off.

Question 20

Are comparison URLs stable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Comparison URLs include the sorted asset slugs and remain valid even if you rename the comparison.
