The S.A.G.A. Framework
A Data-Driven Intelligence Engine for Web3 & AI
Published: January 27, 2025
Executive Summary
Alie Network provides data-driven intelligence for Web3 & AI. Our S.A.G.A. engine scores projects from 0–100 across four pillars (Team, Product, Community, Finance) to identify blue-chip candidates and surface high-risk ventures. We publish transparent case studies, maintain public repositories (Phoenix Engine, X-Analyzer), and deliver actionable insights for institutional and retail stakeholders.
1. Introduction: Data Over Hype
The Web3 and AI landscapes are crowded with projects where hype often overshadows substance. Alie Network was established to counteract this "information asymmetry" with a single guiding principle: Data over Hype. Our S.A.G.A. engine provides a quantifiable, evidence-based scoring model with a core philosophy of analytical integrity: we do not award scores where data is insufficient or unverifiable.
2. The S.A.G.A. (Strategic Analysis Gem) Framework
S.A.G.A. is a proprietary framework that assigns a "Confidence Score" based on performance across four weighted pillars:
Team & Vision
35% Weight
Leadership quality, technical expertise, track record, and strategic vision
Product & Technology
30% Weight
Innovation level, technical architecture, competitive advantage, and scalability
Community & Market
20% Weight
Community engagement, market positioning, adoption metrics, and growth trajectory
Financial Health
15% Weight
Funding status, token economics, revenue model, and long-term sustainability
3. Scoring Methodology: An Illustrative Example
Each pillar is scored from 0 to 100. The final score is a weighted average.
| Pillar | Weight | Example Raw Score | Weighted Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team & Vision | 35% | 98 | 34.3 |
| Product & Technology | 30% | 90 | 27.0 |
| Community & Market | 20% | 85 | 17.0 |
| Financial Health | 15% | 90 | 13.5 |
| Total Confidence Score | 100% | — | 91.8 ≈ 92/100 (Class A) |
4. Use Cases in Action (with Verifiable Data)
High-Scoring Example: Aethir (95/100)
Aethir's blue-chip score is evidenced by its expansive ecosystem, including a collaboration with the Avalanche Foundation for the infraBUIDL(AI) Program, and partnerships extending to institutions like Arizona State University.
High-Scoring Example: Nillion Network (92/100)
Nillion's technical credibility is underpinned by over $50M in funding, with strategic partnerships spanning NEAR, Aptos, Arbitrum, and Ritual, reinforcing its growth trajectory in privacy-preserving computation.
