What's changed

IMPACT: Full mobile access. Chart data decoupled from markup. Faster updates.

• Unified navigation — Consistent nav links across all five pages. Every page reachable from every page.
• Mobile hamburger menu — All pages now accessible on mobile via dropdown panel. Previous mobile view hid all nav links behind the CTA.
• External chart data — Rankings page now loads data from a separate JSON file. Chart generation script converts engine output directly to site format.
• Homepage preview card — Preview section now pulls real scores from the latest chart. Names remain redacted until full rankings.
• Geometric roster tokens — Each roster member receives a unique, deterministic SVG avatar. Gold linework with fingerprint strip — no photos, no platform data leakage.
• Trust strip — Persistent proof footer on all pages. Site-wide source of truth via shared config.
• Accessibility — ARIA labels, focus-visible outlines, keyboard navigation for drawers and tooltips.
• Disabled tab lockout — Weekly/Monthly tabs now visually grayed with grayscale filter to reinforce unavailability.

COMPAT: Rankings page now requires chart_data.json in same directory. All other pages unchanged.

IMPACT: Significantly more accurate appearance capture. Fewer false negatives on slang, anatomy, and transformation vocabulary.

• Lexicon v1.3 — Expanded coverage and context gating for ambiguous terms. Improved slang, anatomy, and transformation vocabulary capture. Fixed two high-value terms that were incorrectly penalized.
• Instagram ingestion fixed — Moved to a more reliable collection strategy. User-post content now pulled consistently across the roster.
• Video transcription active — Video audio is now transcribed and scored. Content that was previously invisible to the engine now contributes to appearance relevance and signal scoring.
• Momentum operational — Momentum now uses prior chart history when available. Rank changes and trend lines reflect real movement.
• Volatility dampening — Reduced low-sample volatility to prevent noise from inflating rankings for individuals with limited data.

IMPACT: Consistent, defensible claims across every page. New trust artifacts.

• Methodology page — Added "What DDI is not" section, pipeline overview, and chart cadence definition. Removed exact anti-gaming multiplier values from public copy. Fixed platform and query count claims.
• Roadmap page — New page showing upcoming features with status badges and progress timeline.
• Changelog page — This page. Public record of engine and site changes.
• Weekly/Monthly tabs — Disabled with "Coming soon" tooltip instead of dead buttons.
• Copy consistency — All pages now use consistent language for platform coverage and data collection scope.

COMPAT: No breaking changes. Static site, no API impact.

IMPACT: Chart is now explorable. Every rank tells a story.

• Rankings drawer — Click any row to expand signal breakdown, platform distribution, and metadata.
• Platform strip — Visual bar showing discourse distribution across platforms for each individual.
• Mog King badge — #1 ranked individual receives a dedicated hero section with gold treatment.
• Intro section — Explanatory text and metric tooltips for first-time visitors.
• Countdown timer — Shows time until next chart cycle.

IMPACT: First scored chart published. Pipeline operational end-to-end.

• Multi-stage pipeline — Full data processing pipeline operational: collection → cleaning → enrichment → scoring.
• Appearance lexicon — Multi-language lexicon with inclusion terms, noise filtering, and comparison pattern detection.
• Multi-platform collection — Active collection across multiple platforms using hundreds of targeted queries.
• DDI composite scoring — Five weighted signals aggregated into a single 0–100 score per individual.
