Beginner Intermediate Advanced Expert

When in doubt

Choose the lower level. Overrating breaks coaching continuity. Underrating can be corrected safely.

Final Rules

Rate based on observable behavior over time.
Not on confidence, vocabulary, time-in-program, capital size, or P&L.
How to use: skim “Observable Signals” while reading transcripts. If signals mix:
  • If unsure → Beginner
  • If signals conflict → Intermediate

Quick Reference (Coach Role)

  • Beginner: Step‑by‑step navigation, reassurance, prevent basic errors.
  • Intermediate: Reinforce concepts → actions; error‑check; build execution confidence.
  • Advanced: Strategy refinement; scenario thinking; stress‑testing assumptions.
  • Expert: Peer-level sparring; macro/structure perspective; edge validation.

Common Misclassification Errors

Do NOT rate based on:
  • ✖Confidence / assertiveness
  • ✖Profit or loss
  • ✖Vocabulary usage
  • ✖Time in the program
  • ✖Capital size
DO rate based on:
  • ✔Execution behavior
  • ✔Question quality
  • ✔Tradeoff reasoning
  • ✔Independence over time
Level Definition Observable Signals
Beginner
Still learning what things are + basic actions. Cannot yet reason about tradeoffs.
Primary questions: “What is this?”, “Where do I click?”, “Walk me through this?”
  • Needs frequent step‑by‑step guidance
  • Repeats basic questions across calls
  • Struggles with wallet setup, networks, sending funds
  • Cannot open/manage positions without direct instruction
  • Fixates on single metrics (APR only, price only)
  • Doesn’t recognize obvious risk signals
Intermediate
Understands core concepts and can execute with support, but lacks consistency, confidence, or synthesis.
Primary questions: “Is this correct?”, “Does this look right?”, “What should I focus on?”
  • Can open positions with guidance
  • Understands range/volume/correlations in isolation
  • Frequently double‑checks; asks for confirmation
  • Occasionally misses steps or misweights variables
  • Executes between calls but cautiously (test positions)
  • Signing/zaps slow execution
Advanced
Independently researches, executes, and adjusts strategies while reasoning about tradeoffs and outcomes.
Primary questions: “Why choose this over that?”, “Downside?”, “How does risk profile change?”
  • Opens/manages positions independently
  • Adjusts ranges proactively
  • Explains reasoning clearly
  • Notices correlations + regime shifts
  • Asks optimization / scenario-based questions
  • Reviews results and iterates
Expert
Mastery + synthesis + independent judgment across multiple market conditions. Systems-level thinking.
Primary questions: “Is edge valid now?”, “Stress‑test assumption?”, “What breaks this?”
  • Teaches concepts back accurately
  • Anticipates risks before they appear
  • Designs + tests strategies independently
  • Adjusts based on macro/structural changes
  • Fully autonomous, disciplined, repeatable
  • Mistakes rare (usually strategic, not operational)

If you use this page locally, the API key you paste here is only used in your browser for the request, but it can still be exposed (e.g., via browser history, extensions, or screenshots).

Any model available to your account. (Example: gpt-5.2)
The assistant will recommend one of: Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced / Expert, and explain why using the rubric language.
