Counted over 18 runs, from SEP 17, 2026 to OCT 4, 2026.
The scans and the archive are two windows, and they do not add up to the same number. The 18 scans above wrote 575 signals into the digests they produced; the archive holds 464 today. A day scanned twice keeps its last digest, two mornings produced none at all, and the six oldest days were rewritten in one pass on 24 September.
What the bar kept
464 signals over 16 days, by the score they received the day they were read.
- 943
- 8234
- 767
- 675
- 545
The bar sits at 5, the middle of the archive at 8, and nothing above 9 exists because the rubric stops there.
Where the signals came from
The sources that produced the most kept signals. A source is credited for what it published, and several sources reporting the same story is one signal, not several.

What the market looks like

What is not here
No ranking of the makers that ship the most, no star counts, no traffic, no popularity of any kind. The surface promises that nothing is ordered by how much it is talked about, and a page of statistics is exactly where that promise would be easiest to break.
