How to use Sort Brick
Six short lessons. By the end you can open Sort Brick, read the board, tell a real move from a fake one, and have a weekly routine for catching names before the crowd. No jargon you don't need.
1. The 3-minute tour ยท 2. Reading the Signal Score board ยท 3. Real vs fake vs quiet ยท 4. Reading an asset page ยท 5. Reading a collectible page ยท 6. The weekly routine. Read top to bottom, or jump to what you need.
1. The 3-minute tour
Sort Brick watches the same public data the pros watch (insider filings, big trades, contracts, on-chain moves, social chatter) across stocks, crypto, and collectibles, and tells you which moves are real and which are just noise. You don't dig through feeds. You open one board.
Four places you'll actually use:
- Signals โ the leaderboard. Every tracked name, scored 0โ100 by how much real evidence is behind it. Start here.
- Stocks / Crypto / Collectibles โ the desks, one market each, with a verdict on every name.
- Stories โ a sourced write-up for each name that's moving: what's happening, the numbers, and our read.
- Archive โ what the board looked like on any past day, frozen, so you can check our calls.
Free shows you the top of the board. A member sees the whole thing. That's the tour.
2. Reading the Signal Score board
The board ranks names by a Signal Score, 0 to 100. A high score doesn't mean "this goes up." It means "an unusual amount of real, forward-looking evidence is pointing at this name right now." Your job is to decide what to do with that. The board's job is to put the right names in front of you.
Read three things on every row, not just the number:
- The score โ how much evidence. A 74 has several strong signals firing at once; a 45 usually has one.
- The verdict โ ๐ข real, ๐ quiet, ๐ด fake, ๐ก watch (lesson 3).
- The confidence badge โ preliminary, moderate, or strong. A 60 that's strong can beat a 75 that's only preliminary.
One rule keeps the board honest: a name can't score on hype alone. There has to be a real catalyst underneath (an insider buy, an 8-K, a contract, an FDA action) before it's allowed on the board at all. Full detail: How to read the Signal Score.
3. Real vs fake vs quiet
This is the heart of Sort Brick. Cross the chatter against the price and you get four readings:
| Verdict | What it means | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ข Real move | Chatter up AND price confirms | The move is genuine, already underway |
| ๐ Quiet mover | Price moving, little chatter | You're early โ the crowd hasn't noticed |
| ๐ด Fake hot | Loud chatter, price flat or down | Hype, not money โ be skeptical |
| ๐ก Watch | Chatter rising, no price proof yet | On the radar, not confirmed |
When you remember one thing from Sort Brick, remember this table. It's the BS filter.
Honest note: our own testing shows the real-move read carries the most weight, and the insider-cash signal underneath it is the strongest of all. Treat "quiet" as a lead to watch, not a guarantee.
4. Reading an asset page (stock or coin)
Click any name and you land on its page. Read it top to bottom:
- Price + verdict at the top โ where it is and our read.
- Signal Score + factors โ the number, and crucially which signals built it. A score from insider buying + a contract is a different animal than one from chatter + price. Click in and look.
- What this means โ the plain-English read.
- Price history chart โ switch the 7D / 30D / 90D / 1Y / All windows. The chart says where the price came from; we mark which history we collected live versus imported.
- External verification โ a small link to the source at the bottom. We show the data; the link is just to check our work.
The move that matters: don't trust the score, read the factors. That's the whole skill.
5. Reading a collectible page
Cards, sealed sets, and graded collectibles work a little differently. The one real read on most cards is the PSA 10 premium โ the graded price divided by the ungraded price โ compared to every other card we track.
- Low premium (a card already worth a lot raw) means the value is in owning the card at all, not in graded scarcity.
- High premium means graded condition is the driver โ clean slabs command a steep markup.
- Typical premium, no price move means there's no signal yet. The page will say so plainly instead of inventing one. A card with one real data point should look like it has one data point.
You'll see the actual card image, the price across grades, and a history chart that fills in as we collect. When there's nothing to say, the page tells you. That honesty is the point.
6. The weekly routine
Fifteen minutes, twice a week. This is how a member actually uses Sort Brick:
- Open the Signals board, top scores first.
- Filter for ๐ quiet movers with moderate or strong confidence โ that's where you're early.
- Click each one, read the factor breakdown. Favor the ones carried by insider cash or a fresh catalyst, not just chatter.
- Read the story for the sources.
- Add the good ones to a watchlist and track the score over the week. Rising score + new factors = the thesis getting stronger.
That's the loop. The full version with examples: The quiet mover playbook.
