Historical Creator Value download restored and decoupled from live prices

The October 6 price update had unintentionally recalculated the historical v1 Creator Value JSON and CSV with today's fixed 3-credit image tariff. Restored the original v1 calculation (1–8 image credits) and its original file checksums. The downloadable archive now uses a separate frozen calculation; today's platform comparisons continue to use current tariffs. This restores the original record, not a new measured result. The current interactive explorer uses the archived platform snapshot with the October 6 fixed image-credit calculation, as labelled on its page.

Separate four-prompt API pilot — technical measurements only

Published all 24 scheduled attempts for FLUX.2 [pro] and Ideogram 4.5 medium via Runware, including costs, response times, input hashes and original outputs. The manifest was frozen locally before dispatch, not independently preregistered. This pilot measures dispatch-to-JSON response time, excluding later downloads; it does not use the original protocol's end-to-end latency definition. No independent usability review, quality score or platform winner is claimed. Original v1 prompt, reference and Creator Value downloads remain unchanged.
