METHODS & DATA

Show your working.

A useful number comes with an explanation. Each CATCO tool includes its inputs, method, a worked example and the limitations that matter.

Local calculations, not forecasts

Financial calculators process the values you enter in your browser. A compound-growth projection assumes the rate and schedule you select; it is not a prediction. Risk tools model the supplied entry, stop, leverage or fees, not a broker's actual execution engine.

Calculations are covered by automated regression tests, including invalid inputs and selected worked examples. Automated tests are not an independent financial audit and cannot cover every trading scenario. Confirm important results independently.

Which information is live?

  • Bitcoin: a public block-height lookup from mempool.space. A timestamp identifies the fetched snapshot. If the service fails, the tool says so instead of inventing a current value.
  • Market hours: regular exchange schedules calculated using IANA time zones. Holidays, special sessions, suspensions and broker access may differ.
  • Economic and company calendars: personal, user-maintained planners. They are not licensed news or earnings feeds.
  • Token registry: OpenFair indexed records filtered by CATCO's referral address. Indexing can lag a confirmed transaction.
  • Launch costs: the selected network's OpenFair SDK quote, including estimated gas. Final costs are determined by network conditions and execution.

Launch verification

The terminal restricts network selection to known deployments, checks the official network configuration and verifies the contract deployment through the SDK. It requests a quote and simulation before offering the final execution step. A failed check blocks the launch rather than substituting a different chain or contract.

A successful simulation does not prove a token has economic value or eliminate smart-contract risk. Conditions can change between simulation and confirmation. Read the transaction presented by your wallet.

Research standards

Guides distinguish calculation methods from market opinions. Examples use explicit hypothetical values. Sources are linked where they add primary evidence. Publication and update dates describe content maintenance, not guarantees that third-party services remain unchanged.

Search demand helps prioritize useful tools; it is not used as evidence for an investment claim. Neither calculator outputs nor launch listings are personalized financial advice.
