How it’s computed

A value-weighted mean, every month.

Total Stars credited, divided by total verified task hours, per calendar month — composite and per category.

Built from verified people, verified time and Stars actually credited
Stars valued at $1 each — 1 Star = $1 at cash-out
Flagged completions and implausible durations (under 1 second or over 30 minutes) excluded
Each month is provisional until it closes, then final
Every epoch row carries its sample sizes, so you can judge its weight
