The record
Accuracy, counted rather than claimed.
Every run, this site checks its own listings against sources it did not ingest them from, and follows its own ticket links to see where they land. What follows is that log, added up. It moves when the checks move, including down.
- Window

- Sample
- 38 checks recorded · 35 completed · 0 disagreed
- Excluded
- 3 checks could not be completed
35 completed checks, but the record spans less than a day. It is published at this size because the record starts where it starts and grows by a night’s checks a night — the alternative is waiting until the number flatters us.
Why some checks are not counted
A check can come back wrong for two very different reasons. Either the source disagreed with us — a title we do not list, a listing that surface has dropped, a link that opens on the wrong film — or the check never happened at all: a ticketing host answered with a bot challenge, a calendar rendered in the browser and served us an empty shell, a request timed out. The first kind is our problem and counts against the rate. The second says nothing about whether the showtime is right, so it is excluded from the denominator and reported separately, in the open, rather than folded in as a pass. A rate that quietly counts unreachable checks as successes is the easiest number in this business to inflate and the least worth having.
The rule, as the API states it: confirmed / (confirmed + missing). Unreachable checks are excluded — a bot wall is not evidence either way. null when nothing gradeable ran in the window. Read it next to first_check_at: a high rate over a young record is a young record.

Checks rotate — a few houses are cross-checked every run and the mystery shopper walks a sample of ticket links — so a house reading “not yet sampled” is waiting its turn, not failing. Screening counts and fetch health for every house are on the status board.
The run log
The 40 most recent entries the rings wrote in the window, as they wrote them — the failures included, in the order they happened. 21 agreed · 13 disagreed · 11 could not be completed.
The rate above is computed from the shopper’s ledger, which is a different artifact from this log — so the 13 disagreements listed here are not counted against it. Printed anyway: a record that shows only the failures it happens to count is not a record.

Entries marked not completed are the excluded ones: the check could not be made, so it counts neither for us nor against us.
The same figures, machine-readable and open, at /api/accuracy — this page is that payload, read aloud. How the checks are run, and what the four confidence levels mean, is written out on the methodology page.
