## Freshness and provenance

- Rendered at deploy time from the published snapshots. Snapshot stamp: 2026-09-28.
- The boards behind them republish daily, so a figure here can trail the live data by a deploy.
- The read that is never behind is the JSON API: https://suckerpunch.gg/ai/api.md.
- Tournament data and ladder data are separate populations and are never blended.
- Estimator, denominators and floors: https://suckerpunch.gg/ai/method.md.
