Not yet scored

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 2 of 3. A podcast feed, a published article, a conference stage. Any of those starts the clock.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
