Despite the industry's frantic sprint towards a digital, diversified, and occasionally dystopian future of AI modules and NFT owlbears, the core truth remains that we’re all just frantically building new dice towers on a foundation of gathering friends to tell a shared story.

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
