Methodology

  • Hype Score = log-scaled attention residual: recent 90-day momentum across independent public signals, measured against a size-and-tenure baseline. Vendors at expected baseline = 0; vendors with 10× expected attention = high score.
  • Cohort. Top-100 ranked vendors only. Surfacing breakout NEW vendors? Use /rlegaltech100/movers/ "New Entrants".
  • Refresh. Recomputed monthly.
