KFPI METHODOLOGY v0.1
How the 1,000-point KFPI works
Each artist receives fandom capital from fixed, published data anchors. Artist capital divided by a permanent index divisor becomes the KFPI contribution, and all artist contributions form the global index.
1
1. Capture the baseline
Official data captured at 23:59 KST on August 15, 2026 becomes the permanent 1,000-point reference.
2
2. Calculate artist capital
Reach 40%, activity 25%, global breadth 15%, influence 10% and persistence 10% use fixed published anchors.
3
3. Apply the divisor
Total artist capital divided by the permanent divisor creates KFPI. Constituent changes adjust the divisor so they do not create artificial jumps.

4. Keep XP separate
XP records personal contribution. Only verified, capped PU enters the activity factor; it never converts one-to-one into index points.
