Smart-Account Score
The smart-account score is a signal NAUT surfaces to show where smart money is paying attention. It helps you spot the people and teams worth reaching before the crowd does.
What it measures
Smart accounts are wallets and accounts with a track record worth watching: early backers, sharp traders, and connected operators. The smart-account score reflects how much that group is engaging with a given person or project. A higher score means more attention from accounts that tend to be early.
Where you see it
- In the Signal Score, out of 100, on a person's or company's page and in the Trending projects table on Pulse. NAUT folds smart-account attention into that score, and on a person's or company's page it shows the smart-follower count under it. A company page with no count shows a Smart audience score out of 100 there instead.
NAUT is continuing to expand how deeply this signal is wired across the app, so expect it to show up in more places over time.
How to use it
- Treat a rising smart-account score as a prompt to look closer, not as a verdict. It tells you where to point your attention.
- Pair it with a person's career timeline to turn a signal into a real reason to reach out.
- Combine it with Pulse to separate teams with smart-money interest from teams with only noise.
Why it matters for reaching people
The best time to reach someone is just before everyone else does. The smart-account score points you toward the people and teams that connected, early accounts are backing, so you can start the conversation while it still stands out.
