Methodology
VAE keeps ranking authorities distinct so a visible number has a clear meaning and provenance.
Source Rank
External published facts
Shown only when a named external source actually publishes a relevant rank, score or position with scope and freshness.
Public Choice
Verified-user choice
A distinct voting authority. It is not silently relabeled as VAE Composite Rank or as a scientific poll.
VAE Composite
Governed analytical synthesis
Activates only under frozen category rules, required evidence coverage and operator-compliance gates.
Sponsored Position
Paid and separate
Commercial visibility has zero weight in earned Organic ranking authorities.
Rank receipts
Published rank results carry a result identity, methodology version, evidence cutoff, confidence/coverage context and receipt lineage so the current position is inspectable rather than presented as permanent truth.
