Methodology
Reading rank orders books and substantial authored reading by accumulated qualifying reviewed Founders coverage. Watch & Listen stays separate and nonnumeric. Neither is a measure of quality, David Senra's complete preference ordering, or a universal read-next order.
What counts
Dedicated coverage, qualifying rereads, explicit praise, cross-episode references, and substantive founder themes can contribute when evidence is reviewed and assigned a valid coverage role. Source links remain the verification layer.
Coverage Score
Coverage Score v1 is an uncapped sum of eligible public evidence components. Repeated evidence of the same type inside one work and episode contributes only its strongest component; qualifying evidence across different episodes accumulates.
Discovery lanes
Books, essays, letters, memos, and substantial authored archives receive reading ranks. Talks, films, documentaries, and audio appear in Watch & Listen without numeric ranks. Thin proxy or notes pages remain supporting references outside discovery.
Scope and limits
The current public dataset contains 482 work records, 369 episode records, and 4807 evidence rows. The index is an unofficial, listener-built companion and always sends readers back to original Founders sources.
