Drawing sheet 032: An invented number wearing a disclaimer.

General notes

  1. 01My own dashboard showed "market position: 3rd of 5", with small print: default rank, no evidence. That is not honesty. That is a number in a costume.
  2. 02Rev B: "not ranked yet", no ordinal, and what would produce one. Empty states that tell the truth beat full states that lie.
  3. 03Rule for anything with a score: every number carries its written reason, or it does not render.

Rev B: "not ranked yet", and what would produce a rank.

Every number carries its reason, or it doesn't render. Sheet 032.
