How we count
Every list is ranked again each day from the prices the providers publish.
A list holds one kind of search at one volume, and a provider counts once, at its cheapest product there. A price read for the first time, or that moved a lot, keeps its place while a second reading checks it, and gives first place to a price that is confirmed or a week old whenever the list has one.
