Method changes

4 dated changes to how we rank, newest first. The methodology page keeps the same log.

  • 2026-10-14: the star-growth anomaly penalty is dropped, since a star chart cannot tell a big launch from bought stars
  • 2026-10-13: Maintenance weighs 15% (was 10%) and Momentum 10% (was 15%), so steady upkeep counts more than a burst of stars
  • 2026-10-12: penalties we do not check yet are marked coming; only "no license" has ever been applied
  • 2026-10-09: Docker alone earns no points, medals mark places 1–3 instead of score bands
