The Probegrade Report

A monthly, dated reliability edition.

At the end of each month we freeze scores from that month's archived probes into a citable edition. Providers can embed a dated badge, so a score is always tied to when it was measured.

Dated

Each edition is labeled by month. A badge from October says October, so stale claims can't masquerade as current.

Auditable

Each edition lists the hash of the probe archive it was built from.

Citable

Every edition has a stable URL and a suggested citation for writers, analysts and agents.

Dated badges
