Why it moved this week

-1 mention

Aug 15, 2026 → Aug 22, 2026 · one or both runs reconstructed from stored mentions

Too little movement to attribute. The week's changes are within the range a single re-run of the same prompts would produce.

Attribution is probabilistic. These are the prompts, models and sources whose measurements changed most alongside this entity — not a claim that any of them caused the movement.
