Domain Profiles

Athena's 6-pillar framework applies across domains. Same principles, domain-specific signals.

Universal Pillars

The same 6 pillars apply everywhere. Credibility has the same dimensions whether you're evaluating a crypto influencer, a financial analyst, or a political commentator.

Outcome Alignment
Calibration
Consistency
Specificity Quality
Transparency
Accountability

Domain-Specific Signals

What varies is how we measure each pillar. Crypto uses price targets; finance uses earnings forecasts; politics uses election outcomes. Different signals, same framework.

Pillar: Outcome Alignment
Crypto: Price target accuracy
Finance: Earnings forecast accuracy
Politics: Election prediction accuracy
