Publishers
How a masthead has done, across everyone writing under it. Useful when a byline is the site rather than a person — and worth knowing even when it is not, since an outlet is what most readers actually choose.
Counted the same way as a pundit: by article, with a paginated series counting once. A publisher needs ten graded articles before we will rank it.

The masthead map
Volume against results. Far right publishes the most gradable calls; high up grades the best. The interesting quadrants are the corners — prolific and sharp, or prolific and not.
Against the baseline
MissedTakes score: accuracy measured against what a naive guess would have scored on the same claims. Zero means no better than guessing — and a publisher can be accurate while scoring badly here, if the calls were easy ones.
