How these figures are calculated

• Prices are blended 30/70 input to output, the same figure the Efficiency score ranks on.
• List prices only. Batch and cache discounts are conditional on the customer implementing them.
• Corrections are excluded rather than annotated: when a published rate was wrong at the source and later fixed, the difference is a data correction, not a price move.
• A change of host is listed but never headlined: most models are sold by several hosts at different rates, this site quotes one of them, and when that host changes the figure moves although nobody repriced anything.
• A missing, zero or negative baseline yields no entry. New listings, renames and delistings get no percentage rather than an invented one.
