  • Coverage is the available share of configured input weights, not prediction accuracy. Below 60%, the current score is not shown. Price is for comparison, not an index input.
  • History is recalculated using the latest published data, not the exact information known at each past date. This is a descriptive indicator, not a validated or guaranteed price forecast.
