Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about AI operator performance — who is the best, how to measure up, and what makes a top AI user.

Questions & answers

Who is the best AI user?
SigRank crowns operators by Υ Yield and cascade efficiency, not volume. The top operator on the /board/all leaderboard is the current best by token cascade efficiency.
How do I measure up to other AI users?
Install sigrank (npm i -g sigrank), run `sigrank me` or paste your ccusage JSON at /score, then compare your Υ Yield, class tier, and rank against other operators on the leaderboard.
Is there an AI user leaderboard?
Yes — SigRank is the AI Operator Leaderboard. It ranks operators by token cascade efficiency (Υ = cache_read × output / input²), not raw token volume. See /board/all.
Am I an AI power user?
SigRank classifies operators into tiers (Burner, Builder, 10xer) based on yield and leverage. A 10xer is the AI power user archetype: high cache reuse, high output per input, disciplined token architecture. Check your class at /score.
What is token cascade efficiency?
Token cascade efficiency measures how well an AI operator converts fresh input tokens into useful output, amplified by cached context reuse. The formula is Υ = (cache_read × output) / input². High yield means signal is compounding; low yield means tokens are burned.
How can I use AI more efficiently?
Increase cache reuse (reuse prompts, templates, workflows), reduce fresh input (don't start from scratch each time), and maximize output per session. SigRank's self_improve tool diagnoses your cascade and suggests specific improvements.
What makes someone a top AI operator?
Top operators build workflows where one unit of new input sits atop a large cached base and yields more than one unit of output. This reflects disciplined, system-level reuse, not brute-force prompting. See the class tiers on /board/all.
