📐 Our Methodology
Google Scholar h-index
Academic researchers are ranked primarily by their h-index — a metric that measures both the quantity and impact of their publications. Cross-referenced with Semantic Scholar citation data.
GitHub Stars & Impact
Technical builders are ranked by GitHub stars, forks, active contributions, and real-world adoption of their tools. We cross-reference with commit history to filter out inflated metrics.
Social Reach & Engagement
Thought leaders are ranked by follower count, engagement rate (likes + reposts per post), and the quality/depth of their AI discourse — not just vanity metrics.
Authenticity Verification
All profiles are verified against multiple data sources. Engagement-to-follower ratios are analyzed to filter out bot-inflated accounts and ensure genuine influence.
