Reading

The innocent reading first. Asked for the leaderboard, the Overview gives it: the top models and their ratings, with links to the boards.

Findings
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text

At an address naming the leaderboard, the Overview returns rankings and no account of the leaderboard; its figures cannot be reconciled with the page as read. The record keeps the entity; the capture keeps what was composed in its place.
