How to read these numbers

Counts are computed from snapshot snap-ce4da8695e9d, not written by hand. A talent is "changed" when its text, rank count, or effect differs from its Classic record, and "moved" when it changed grid position. Evidence quality varies per rank — see the source status definitions before quoting a specific number. This is preview-stage data and will shift as more ranks are verified.
