Each component is log-scaled against the real spread of the indexed pool, so the top of every bar is reachable but rare — most measured builders land between 45 and 85, and 100 is rare by design. A low bar means we measured less, not that the person is worse.

Deterministic from public GitHub signals only, counted as of the moment we measured. Same numbers over the API: GET /api/builders/benbalter
