A reproducible liquidity assessment needs the pool's state and the exact trade being evaluated. A TVL screenshot without direction, size or a depth definition cannot substantiate an execution-capacity claim.
Keep a model-aware record
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Network and pool identity | Separates venues and avoids duplicate capital |
| Token order and decimals | Defines direction and human-readable units |
| State identifier and time | Connects reserves or ranges to the quote |
| Curve and fee treatment | Determines the applicable pricing assumptions |
| Requested size and constraint | Defines what capacity means |
| Reference valuation | Explains dollar conversions and benchmark gaps |
Store the relevant distribution
For a full-range constant-product analysis, retain the reserves used. For concentrated liquidity, retain the current price, active liquidity and relevant range changes. A single total token balance cannot reconstruct the latter.
Uniswap's active-liquidity guide shows why the starting state and changes across ticks jointly describe the distribution. An indexed chart may require its own data timestamp in addition to the quote time.
Separate observations from derived results
Keep the raw quoted inputs and outputs before adding calculated average rates, incremental rates or capacity thresholds. Label hypothetical reserve changes as scenarios rather than observed market data.
If a route combines pools, list them and any shared dependencies. Record whether the measurements are independent alternatives or a modeled sequential execution. That distinction prevents summed quote amounts from overstating capacity.
State the remaining limits
A complete record reproduces the assessment under its state assumptions. It does not guarantee future execution or reconstruct unavailable historical data. If the interface hides a route or the source is delayed, preserve that limitation in the published finding rather than filling missing data with current values from another pool.
