Key insight: Each segment is one weekly snapshot. a filled segment means the prover met eligibility thresholds that week. Gaps reveal weeks where performance or liveness dropped below requirements.

Key insight: Green shows sub-10s successes (the goal). Yellow (stunners) and red (paralyzers) should be minimized. A healthy cohort is ≥70% green.

≤10s (RTP eligible)
>10s (stunners)
Key insight: Green bars above the threshold are RTP-eligible. Most proofs should cluster in the 8-10s bucket. If 0-5s grows, proving is getting faster. If gray bars grow, investigate the cause.
