How we score: every show is graded from its episode transcripts on information density (named companies, people, figures, and mechanisms per minute), specificity (concrete, checkable claims versus vague punditry), source attribution (how often a claim credits where it came from), and a prediction track record we resolve against what actually happened. The full, continuously updated board lives at the podcast rankings.
