```

Example prompt: Pull up the latest EarlyThunder crypto research scores — I want to see all 259 assets ranked by their composite score with tiers and one-line verdicts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, ranked overview of crypto asset research quality across a broad universe of 259 assets without needing deep thesis detail. Ideal for screening, filtering, or building leaderboards. Prefer this over the full thesis endpoint when cost or latency is a concern and a summary verdict is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or invalid — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable or data not refreshed — returns 5xx error
- Empty or partial result set if underlying data pipeline is stalled
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without valid payment

## How this service works

Ranked crypto research scores from EarlyThunder: composite score, tier, category and one-line verdict for 259 assets, sorted best-first. Teaser for the full thesis endpoint.
