Merit-only venue scoring rolled into one weekly artifact. Every edition is frozen at publish: stable URL, deterministic artifact hash, published methodology version. When the evidence is below the sample floor, the number is withheld — not dressed up.
No editions published yet. The first weekly edition appears here as soon as the cron publishes it. We do not backfill or simulate history — an empty index is the honest starting state of a benchmark that only reports what it actually observed.
The Route Quality Index is a merit-only composite of venue execution quality, computed within (chain × trade-size) cohorts from observed route outcomes. It is modeled and point-in-time. Concentration is a penalty, there is no sponsorship or boost input, and cohorts below the per-cohort sample floor are counted and excluded — never ranked into a public number.
Editions are frozen at publish. The latest live view (which keeps updating) is on /ecosystem; the measurement approach is documented on /methodology and /benchmark.
Each edition page carries a standing “cite this edition” block with the edition number, ISO week, methodology version, artifact hash, and the canonical URL. Because the artifact is frozen, the hash you cite today resolves to the same bytes later — a regeneration can never move a number you already quoted.
