Critics
Individual scores are converted to a 0–5 scale while preserving the original value and scale. A highlighted aggregate requires three independent reviews.
PUBLIC METHOD · V2
Three signals. Each with its own data.
Runscars presents critical reception, expert consensus and user rankings separately. Markets are shown as context, never as a vote.
Predictions
Each professional source contributes its most recent eligible publication for each category and intention. A source counts once, even when it publishes several experts.
Community
Rankings belong to each user. Public visibility is optional and never changes professional consensus or critical reception.
WEIGHTED CONSENSUS
From each list to a comparable scale
points = (length − rank + 1) / length
First place receives 1 and last place receives 1/length. An unordered selection confirms appearance only; it does not invent a rank. Public consensus requires at least four automated, publishable sources.
TIME
It changes only when the evidence changes
The site creates an update when a source adds, removes, reorders or changes the identity of a candidate. Every update stores included and excluded observations, the method version and a content hash.
LOCKS AND CORRECTIONS
Immutable means immutable
Nomination and winner locks cannot be changed. If there is an error, a linked replacement version is published with a reason while the previous record remains intact. Official results follow the same rule.
PROVENANCE AND FRESHNESS
Every number must show its source
We preserve source, URL, author when available, publication date, capture date and original value. One source failing does not block the others, and uncertain matches enter editorial review.
