Readiness movers
What changed recently?
Technology readiness moves in small, unglamorous steps: a regulator says yes, a price halves, a demo finally survives contact with a real kitchen. This is where we log those steps.
These are example movements, not recorded history.
The index has only just launched, so nothing has genuinely moved yet. Each row below demonstrates the format a real movement will take — previous score, current score, the date it was recorded and the editorial reason. Nothing here should be read as a claim that a change occurred.

Assessments due another look
Nothing stays accurate on its own. Entries pass through “review due” and then “possibly out of date” automatically, so age is always visible rather than assumed.
Every assessment is currently inside its review window.
