Not independent measurement

Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. Rows marked as used were laddered against independently measured peers inside the launch-card channel of this model's modeled placement, with the replay-measured optimism haircut applied; the others played no part.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
