How Ranking Works
Overall Rank
Weighted blend of Authority (85%) and Cultural Presence (15%). The flagship ranking representing an artist's position in the WattsOS cultural graph.
Authority
Canonical record strength based on trusted sources, attribution confidence, institutional and representation links, graph relationships, and verified field coverage.
Cultural Presence
Depth of an artist's cultural footprint — exhibition history, movement associations, gallery representation tier, and published artwork coverage.
Completeness
How complete and claim-ready the record is across identity, biography, media, assets, and verification. Visible separately — does not affect overall rank.
7D / 30D Change
Rank change versus the most recent weekly or monthly snapshot. Positive means the artist moved up.
Cohort Tags
Blue Chip: high authority with institutional backing. Emerging: rising cultural presence with developing record. Derived from record signals, not self-reported.
