Methodology

Measurement before interpretation. This is the full path from raw chain data to a finding a client can rely on.

Stages

What happens at each step

01

Source reconstruction

Chain data is read directly from node RPC and normalized while preserving native object structure. Nothing is flattened into a generic transaction abstraction.

02

Deterministic features

Objects are described by purely mathematical features under a versioned schema. Identical input ranges always produce identical feature output.

03

Lineage derivation

Relationships come from actual input/output consumption evidence, with explicit boundary semantics at the edges of the indexed range.

04

Statistical context

Populations are summarized with robust methods so any single observation can be positioned against its cohort rather than judged in isolation.

05

Verification

Runs are re-verified against digests and manifests. Integrity failures halt the pipeline instead of being smoothed over.

06

Provenance

Every published number resolves to a dataset, run identifier, block range and verification record.

Technical detail lives in the research platform — Scale Lab, Verification, Diagnostics.

Evidence first

Why trust KillerWhale?

Every claim on this site maps to a mechanism that already exists in the research platform. Where something is not yet validated, it is labelled.

Source evidence

Validated

Research starts with blockchain-native data read directly from chain nodes, not from third-party summaries.

Reconstruction

Validated

Objects and relationships are reconstructed deterministically, so the same source range produces the same result.

Provenance

Validated

Source identifiers stay attached to analytical results — block height, transaction, and object identity travel with the finding.

Verification

Validated

Critical findings can be independently re-checked against the source chain rather than accepted on trust.

Manifests

Validated

Research stages may be cryptographically bound through manifest hashes recorded alongside each run.

Watchdog

Live

Operational failures are detected and recovered without silently rewriting evidence; integrity failures stop the pipeline instead.
