Questions
How is the long-term score built?
The long-term score is a published weighted sum of percentile ranks, rebalanced on the first trading day of each month. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100.
How often does this list change?
Members are rebalanced on the first trading day of each month. Scores are recomputed nightly, but membership only changes at a scheduled rebalance, or immediately if a company stops being eligible. A member is held while it stays inside the top 15, so a small move in rank does not force a change.

The cutoff today is 49.2 across 50 ranked Consumer Staples companies. #11 (SPB) is 1.0 below it. A member leaves only if it falls past #15 — 46.6 today.
