Rule volatility: 11 canonical value changes across 60 firms · 0.058 of raw touches
Across 60 firm rule sets, the corpus’s reachable version history yields 11 canonical value changes against 189 raw file edits (0.058 of touches). 10 of 60 firms (16.7%) have at least one value change; 50 were touched with zero value change — raw touch counts inflate volatility. Secondary corpus-internal recheck change days: 16 of 60 (26.7%). No pass-rate ranking.
Raw touches inflate rule-change counts.
Across 89 recorded updates to the rule files in the corpus's full version history, firms accumulate 189 raw file edits but only 11 canonical value changes (0.058 of touches). A touch-count ranking would inflate volatility by counting restores, backups and paperwork-adjacent rewrites that do not move the rule's underlying value.
Numbers first: 11 canonical value changes; 189 raw touches (0.058); 10 of 60 (16.7%) have a value change; 50 were touched with zero value change. Answer first: this is a first-party change-count study from the corpus’s reachable version history under the corpus-sync verification rule — not a pass-rate ranking. Every figure is computed at build time directly from the corpus.
Key findings
11 canonical value changes against 189 raw touches (0.058). Across 89 recorded updates to the rule files in the corpus's full version history, firms accumulate 189 raw file edits but only 11 canonical value changes (0.058 of touches). A touch-count ranking would inflate volatility by counting restores, backups and paperwork-adjacent rewrites that do not move the rule's underlying value.
50 firms were touched with zero value change. Example: blue-guardian-futures has 5 raw touches and 0 value changes; bulenox has 5 raw touches and 0 value changes; the5ers has 5 raw touches and 0 value changes. High touch activity is not the same as a moving rule book.
The current version's direct history is thinner than the corpus's full version history. Tip ancestry alone sees 51 commits on rules/**, while the object-store walk used here sees 89. The 2026-08-25 corpus restore collapsed first-parent history; a value first seen at restore is treated as its birth, not a value change.
Secondary corpus-internal signal: Corpus-internal rechecks[] with outcome matching changed/corrected record field-change days on 16 of 60 firms (26.7%). That secondary signal is labelled secondary because the study title promises counts taken from the corpus's version history.
No pass rates. This dataset publishes change counts and dated corpus events only. It does not publish pass rates, firm rankings, or comparative claims about which firm is easier to pass.

Table — per-firm rule-change counts
Primary column is canonical value change count. Raw touches are the honesty contrast. Recheck columns are secondary. Every figure regenerates automatically whenever the underlying rule corpus changes.
