How We Score
The BlackHart Risk Index (BRI) is a single number (300-1000) that quantifies how resistant a DeFi protocol is to adversarial exploitation. Higher is safer.
Open Methodology
11 of 12 dimensions are fully open and independently verifiable.
The adversarial assessment methodology is not published. Publishing offensive tooling would arm the attackers we exist to stop. D7 scores are evidence-backed and on-chain committed. Why this matters
The Formula
Full breakdownBRI = 300 + 700 × Π(Dᵢ / 100)^wᵢ
Multiplicative — one catastrophic dimension cannot be hidden by high scores elsewhere

The multiplicative formula, why additive scoring hides risk, the 5-stage computation pipeline, and weight governance.
The 12 Dimensions
Each dimension captures an independent axis of protocol risk. Weight distribution, conditional activation, and dimension-level scoring.

Our Approach
Adversarial resilience, the Z-factor maturity coefficient, what makes this different from checklist auditing, and how to interpret scores.
Independence & Transparency
Scoring independence, conflict management, the full provenance chain from on-chain behavior to published score, and what's open vs. proprietary.
