How this ranking is built

This surface is derived from the canonical Grizzly Bulls wealth contract. A person enters the ranking only when the source snapshot is validated, identity is stable, the current source-priority estimate is fresh and positive, and name, country, industry, and source of wealth are source-backed. Rankings do not use the legacy randomized or averaged estimate.
