Call Group Ranking
Not All Calls Are Alpha
Telegram call groups — channels that publish trading or allocation calls — vary enormously in quality. Many exist purely to generate hype that benefits the caller’s position. Some provide genuine structural alpha. The market cannot distinguish between them based on follower count or presentation quality alone.
Repute’s Call Group Ranking (CGR) system applies structural analysis to the call groups themselves, not just the projects they cover.
The CGR Formula
CGR = HistoricalAccuracy × RetentionRate × IntegrityWeight| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
HistoricalAccuracy | Proportion of calls where the called project demonstrated genuine structural improvement (SIS/AVI) vs. baseline, measured 30 days post-call |
RetentionRate | Percentage of called projects whose communities retained > 50% of members 30 days after the call-driven spike |
IntegrityWeight | SIS-derived integrity score of the call group’s own Telegram community (presence of bots, engagement asymmetry, manufactured engagement) |
Signal vs. Amplification
The CGR formula specifically separates signal from amplification.
A call group that consistently amplifies projects with high SIS + high NSM — projects with genuine structural quality — scores high on HistoricalAccuracy, because those projects subsequently demonstrate structural persistence.
A call group that amplifies projects with low SIS and high TRI — structurally fragile, bot-driven communities — scores low on HistoricalAccuracy, because those projects collapse post-call.
Amplification ≠ signal. A caller with 300,000 followers who consistently calls structurally fragile projects is not an alpha source. They are a distribution mechanism for structural noise.
CGR is based entirely on observable structural outcomes, not on price action. A call group that calls projects that pump and collapse is not penalized for the pump — only for the structural collapse (low retention, SIS deterioration).
CGR Interpretation
| CGR Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| > 0.70 | High-quality signal source. Calls correlate with genuine structural quality. |
| 0.40–0.70 | Mixed. Some structural accuracy, significant noise. Use with additional verification. |
| 0.20–0.40 | Low quality. Calls show weak correlation with structural persistence. |
| < 0.20 | Noise source. Historical calls have consistently preceded structural collapse. |
What CGR Cannot Measure
- Short-term price action (not what Repute measures)
- Insider information quality (unobservable)
- Relationship between caller and project (undisclosed)
- Whether calls are sponsored (not always disclosed)
CGR measures structural outcomes. It is one input in evaluating a call group, not a complete assessment.
