4 days carry something the board can name:

11 Aug Its maker's news lifted the score 1.51 — the board noticed.
9 Sept Robo Score rose 1.21 — its evidence changed.
11 Sept Robo Score rose 0.11 — its evidence changed.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 11 Sept, taken against 13 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.
