How to read this

What it is

Percentiles scores everything on one day. This follows one series’ place within its record, day by day.

How to read the chart

Over sets the stretch. 100 marks its top; the bottom just tags whatever scored lowest, not a fixed number.

Parked above 90 for months means a level has been accepted, not spiked to. Crossing 50 flips it to the far half.

Scoring 98 against five years after 67 twelve months earlier, a series has spent the year climbing through its record.

Method

The lookback is the claim, not the zoom. The same session can score near the top over five years and mid-pack over twenty. A series pinned at 100 has nowhere left to go, so the level matters too.
