03 / Method before conclusions
Trust is in the working, not the wording.
We are building the first Index in public. When the espresso work is published, you'll be able to see what was counted, what was excluded, and where the signal stops being useful.
A regret signal is not a verdict on quality.
01We publish the method, limitations, and changes.
02No pay-to-rank placement. Ever.
