How to read these numbers
Counts are computed from snapshot snap-ce4da8695e9d,
not written by hand. A talent is "changed" when its text, rank count,
or effect differs from its Classic record, and "moved" when it changed
grid position. Evidence quality varies per rank — see the
source status definitions before quoting a
specific number. This is preview-stage data and will shift
as more ranks are verified.
