How installs are counted

Every card carries a small curve, and small curves are easy to abuse. So the counting rules are public, boring, and biased against flattery.

What counts

• A completed install from a unique environment — one per machine, per skill.
• A re-install after thirty days counts again; a re-install after lunch does not.
• Uninstalls subtract. The curve is net, not gross.

Why show the curve at all

A raw total rewards being early. A curve rewards being good now. Two skills with a thousand installs are different products if one earned them last month — and the shelf should say so at a glance.
