The leaderboard scores are relative to the current ranked cohort, so a blog can gain or lose score when other blogs join, leave, or cross the 1,000-word floor, even if its own writing has not changed. The publications note and the method paragraph now say this directly.
The method copy also states that the overall score averages the six composites, and that moving a weight recomputes the composites, overall score, and their rank percentiles.
