Lab note

Reading Leaderboards

A leaderboard on the lab is a comparison surface. It should help you understand who leads, who trails closely, and which dimension is responsible for that difference.

What a leaderboard is good for

Leaderboards are good for quick positioning. They tell you where to start a comparison and which profiles, posts, or topics deserve a closer look.

What a leaderboard should not replace

A leaderboard should not replace a detail page or a matchup page. It points you there once the broad order is clear.
