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 v2 is an uncapped sum of eligible reviewed evidence components. Within one book and independently recorded discussion, each evidence type contributes only its strongest qualifying component. Reviewed reused passages share their original discussion even when published in another episode; genuinely new qualifying discussion can contribute independently.
Origin review currently covers episodes #299 and #398. Other episodes retain their source episode as the scoring origin; this is not a complete archive audit. Both publication sources remain visible. Episode counts, coverage opportunities, graph connections, and related-book strengths still use actual publication episodes.
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 542 work records, 435 episode records, and 6039 evidence rows. The index is an unofficial, listener-built companion and always sends readers back to original Founders sources.
