Adjusted Real Impact
How Ball Street prices Proof of Belief certificates.
The price of all Ball Street “Proof of Belief” certificates, denominated in Ball Street Bucks, is determined exclusively by the platform’s proprietary Adjusted Real Impact algorithm — intellectual property developed by Quant Founder Roy Krishnan and Co-Founder Ari Wagner — with no discretionary or manual intervention.
Adjusted Real Impact is Ball Street’s proprietary, rules-based metric that converts verified game performance data into a standardized impact score used to inform player value and market movement.
Frequently asked questions
How is A.R.I. determined?
A.R.I. is calculated using a systematic, quantitative model that incorporates multiple performance inputs and applies consistent weighting and normalization methodologies. Specific model components and weightings are confidential and proprietary.
Is A.R.I. subject to human discretion or editorial input?
No. A.R.I. is fully model-driven and operates without human intervention, subjective judgment, or editorial oversight.
Can Ball Street adjust player values or outcomes?
No. Ball Street does not manually adjust player scores, pricing, or market outcomes. All outputs are generated exclusively by the underlying model.
What data sources are used?
A.R.I. is based on structured, third-party game data and statistical inputs that are applied uniformly across all players.
Are external factors (media, popularity, sentiment) considered?
No. A.R.I. does not incorporate media narratives, public sentiment, or popularity metrics. Only objective, on-court performance data is used.
Why is the full methodology not disclosed?
Intellectual property. Full disclosure could compromise the integrity and security of the system. Ball Street instead emphasizes consistency, auditability of outcomes, and uniform application.
Does the model change over time?
From time to time, updates may be implemented to improve accuracy or consistency. Any changes are applied broadly and not to influence specific players or outcomes.
Ball Street does not exercise discretion over player performance metrics or resulting market values. All outputs are generated through a standardized, rules-based system designed to ensure objectivity, consistency, and fairness.
