One of the checks
How much is actually behind it?
Pool depth is the money standing between a sell order and the floor. It is the number most easily confused with market cap, and the difference between the two is where most of the disappointment on this chain lives.
What it is
The thing being measured
A fully diluted valuation of eight million dollars sitting on a four thousand dollar pool is not an eight million dollar token. It is a four thousand dollar pool with a large number written above it. Selling any meaningful position into that pool moves the price through the floor before the order fills.
We read the deepest Solana pair for the mint and take its liquidity in dollars. Deepest, not first: a token with pools on three AMMs is judged on the one that could actually absorb a trade.

liquidity under the published floor
The pool cannot absorb a real order. This is the refusal.
fdv far above liquidity
Ordinary on this chain, and worth understanding before reading a chart as a valuation.
pairs: [] or no Solana pair
There is nothing to trade against at all.
Our door policy
What we do with the answer
Under our floor is a refusal. Above the floor but under the flag line is a flag printed under the seat. No Solana pool at all is a refusal of its own kind — there is nothing to trade against.

What this measurement does not establish
This is depth at one moment. A pool can be filled the hour after it is read, or drained. Every measurement we publish carries the timestamp it was taken at, for exactly this reason.
We take the figure from market data rather than reading the vault balances ourselves. When that data is unavailable, the check did not run — the sale is held and nothing is published.
A thin pool is not a scam. Every token starts thin. It means the seat cannot carry our badge, not that anyone did anything wrong — which is why depth alone produces a flag well before it produces a refusal.
The Wall sells twenty-four advertising seats and screens every contract before selling one. It is a door policy, not a rating: we have no opinion on whether anyone should hold, buy or sell anything, and we are not qualified to have one.
Where this check gets used
Every refusal is published, with its measurement
A badge nobody can audit is a marketing claim. The ledger · what last night's round found, counted and unnamed.
