    "The ledger is an append-only table keyed by week, tier, and card; editions are archived at publication; marks come from live verified sold medians; alpha is measured per pick against the moonstone Pokémon Index from entry date to mark date, equal weighted. The cumulative alpha figures quoted above are the archived weekly scorecards of August 10 and August 24, 2026; the series moves every week and is not a claim about today."
