INDICATIVE — published for reference while its coverage is still building — not a benchmark. Level largely guide-priced.
Professor Universe (equal weight) stands at 1,525.38 index points, +0.20% on the day, -3.47% over 7 days and +29.29% over 30 days. Computed over 8 constituents, 100% of target weight priced and index confidence 0.56.

Held it back
Ranked over all 8 constituents by basis points of the index's one-day move.
| # | Card | Set | TargetTargetThe weight this constituent’s definition ASSIGNED it, before renormalization over the priced part of the basket and before the per-asset cap. Empty on the frozen legacy pair, which recorded one weight and no target. | EffectiveEffectiveThe weight actually APPLIED on this day. It exceeds the target when neighbours went unpriced and this constituent’s share grew to cover them, and falls short of it when the per-asset cap bit. The column sums to 100%. | PricePriceThe constituent’s evaluated price as of the index’s own as-of day, not as of right now. | Method |

Every eligible raw NM English card that carries Professor's name — the Pokemon printed as theirs and the Supporter/Item cards named after them — equal weight. Membership is the printed possessive prefix, never a lore association nobody can check. An index is a computed level, not a tradeable instrument: it has no order book, no listings and no sales tape. Each constituent keeps its own.

| ConfConfHow much the price policy trusts that price, 0 to 1. It is what scales this constituent’s weight in the index’s confidence-weighted coverage. |

| 1D1DThe constituent’s own one-day return. A card with no fresh observation carries its last observed price forward — never an interpolated one — so a flat reading can mean “no new print”. |
|---|
| ContribContribHow many basis points of the index’s one-day move came from THIS card: its own return scaled by the share of the basket it carries. Big weight plus a small move can outrank a small weight with a big one, and the column sums to the index’s own move. 100 bps is one percent. |

The last 3 recorded reconstitutions. Turnover is the share of the basket that changed hands at the run; cap is how far down the predeclared relaxation ladder the weight solver had to go, and 0 means the declared caps held.
