Dimension medians
Median of each recorded dimension across the 58 Video archives (score.dims, scale 0–100).
Method
- Population: all archives in data/tools with category = "video" (N=58). No sampling.
- Medians use the standard median (middle element, or mean of the two middle elements rounded to 1 decimal) over score.overall and score.dims as recorded; scores are never recomputed or re-weighted.
- Starting price statistics use only numeric pricing.startingPrice.amount values in unit "mo" (N=31); archives with null amounts are excluded and displayed via pricing.label fallback instead.
- Benchmark coverage in this category: 0 of 58 archives carry a benchmark entry; T1 benchmarks recorded: 3 / 448 across the whole library.
- Freshness: 55 of 58 archives carry updatedOn inside the ten-day snapshot window 2026-09-06 → 2026-09-17.
