# About What the Meta

What the Meta is an independent analytics site for World of Warcraft Mythic+ keystone runs. It gathers Blizzard's public Mythic+ leaderboards across US, EU, KR, and TW, removes cross-realm duplicate runs, and computes weekly rollups for spec usage, five-player compositions, dungeon statistics, and trends.

## Methodology

- The source is Blizzard's public Mythic+ leaderboard endpoints: top-ranked runs by dungeon, region, and period.
- The site computes rollups from a stored, de-duplicated raw-run table. Page requests do not call Blizzard directly.
- Top 10%, Top 1%, and Top 0.1% are score percentiles within a period, rather than absolute keystone levels. The default view is Top 1%.
- Current open-period data is provisional and refreshed roughly every two hours. Closed periods are finalized with a wider sample. Coverage badges communicate this distinction.

## Limits

- This is not a character lookup, item planner, guide site, real-time feed, or universal tier list.
- Usage in a sampled high-end leaderboard run is evidence of prevalence, not proof that a spec is best for every player or situation.
- AI tier lists, predictions, and meta-health verdicts are clearly labeled interpretations of the data; they are not official Blizzard guidance.
