THE DOSSIER
// Lifetime Ladder · Tupelo League S4 · Day 67 / 90
Two voices argue here. Bex says show the build — every rank must reveal what was shipped, what was written, what was pulled. Hannah says show the years — every score must be paired with the time it took to make. This page picks both. The lifetime ladder is the museum; the season, the week, and the day are ribbons running underneath.

▣ THE LIFETIME LADDER · ALL-TIME · ARCHAEOLOGY
EVERY ROW IS A BUILD AND A TIMESTAMP.
Hannah: "You cannot manufacture pride — it comes from years. Steady should win."
Bex: "If you can see it, you can chase it. The leaderboard is not the top-10 list; the leaderboard is the entire population, navigable."

YEARS LIVED × SCORE EARNED
Every point is one of the top-50. Horizontal: activeDaysLifetime — how many days they showed up.
Vertical: lifetime score (log scale). A green ring marks a comp cape — non-zero contribution across
publish, writing, pull, streak, and lab. A gold square marks a founder. The cyan crosshair is you.
Three lines: the median (4,200), the p90 (78,000), and the p99 (410,000) of the full population of 1,248.
Hannah's diagonal — "steady should win" — runs bottom-left to top-right. Outliers off the diagonal are
either prolific newcomers (above it) or lapsed veterans (below it).

SCORE
// On what is honored
The headliner is lifetime because both designers respect time. PoE leagues reset every 3 months; the player's knowledge carries. RuneScape's XP table has not changed since 2008; the 99 you earned in 2009 is the 99 you have now. The lifetime board is the archive. The ribbons are the game.
// On the build column
Bex's stance: every leaderboard row must be drillable into the build that produced it. Extensions, writings, top-pulled extension and its pull count are inline. The score is not a number — it is this person, who shipped these things. Operatives with `null` top-pull get an honest "no pulls yet."
// On the time column
Hannah's stance: a score without the time it took is propaganda. Every row carries memberSince, activeDays, streak, and the comp cape binary. The cape is the breadth-honoring counterweight to a single scalar — it costs nothing to ignore, and everything to earn.
