2 days of that is about BOLT+ itself:

  • 8 Aug Robo Score fell 0.33 — its evidence changed.
  • 9 Sept Robo Score fell 0.38 — its evidence changed.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 12 Sept, taken against 78 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.
