A point is only useful if the activity was worth doing. Enter the amount of activity and points from the same time window. If you do not know the costs yet, start with the example and replace the assumptions when the official rules or your trade history gives you better numbers.
Each page keeps the zero case, evidence status, and conservative stop condition visible for one tracked program. Use the generic calculator above for your measured activity cost, then open the matching scenario page for research context.
The result is a break-even threshold, not an expected payout. If the protocol has no confirmed conversion, you cannot responsibly compare the threshold with a token price; use it to compare activity cost and stop conditions instead.

What this tool does not answer
It does not tell you whether a venue is solvent, liquid, eligible in your region, safe to custody funds with, or likely to issue a valuable token. Use the Farm Radar for evidence status and the protocol page for access and risk checks.
