The grades are calls
A rank, a tier and a confidence grade are editorial judgements, argued on each ranking and made under the rules the build enforces. They are not measurements. The citation beside each one names the work, and usually the place in it, so any of them can be checked, and corrections are welcome.
What the licence covers
The franchises, their characters and the works cited belong to their owners. The licence covers this site's own data and wording: the rankings, the grades, the claims as written here and the structure that holds them. It grants nothing in the works themselves.
