The Purity Index
What is the Fame Forge Purity Index?
The Fame Forge Purity Index is the official, real-time telemetry leaderboard that aggregates mentor scores, custodian evaluations, and direct audience voting to determine a contestant's overall standing and eviction vulnerability. It is publicly visible, continuously updated, and mathematically immune to behind-the-scenes manipulation.
How Scores Are Calculated
Voting Rules & Anti-Manipulation Measures
Every rule below is enforced at the infrastructure level — not by trust, but by code.
₦100 Per Vote
Each cast vote costs exactly ₦100, processed through Paystack. This skin-in-the-game design ensures that audience votes reflect genuine conviction, not casual clicks.
24-Hour Voting Window
The voting window opens Saturday night after nomination announcements and closes at 5:59 PM WAT every Sunday. Late submissions are not accepted.
One Vote Per Account Per Cycle
Each authenticated Catalyst account is permitted one vote per nominated contestant per weekly eviction cycle. Duplicate attempts are rejected by our rate-limit engine with a 429 security block.
Paystack-Verified Only
No vote is counted without a verified, successful Paystack transaction reference. Replay attacks, where the same reference is submitted twice, are automatically detected and rejected.
Anti-Manipulation Telemetry
Suspicious vote velocity patterns (e.g., multiple votes from the same IP across different accounts) trigger automatic telemetry flags reviewed by the Forge compliance team.
Public Purity Index Audit
The final Purity Index standings are published publicly within 30 minutes of the elimination show. Every scoring component — mentor, custodian, and audience — is disclosed.
