## Method notes

- V02 to V04 and the second V01 run used four iframes of the renderer on the generator origin in one page, each running at full frame rate with the pane displayed.
- Browser actions were blocked between about 01:20 and 01:29 UTC by an outage of the action-approval service; no observations were taken in that window.
- Tier reconstruction: tier = floor(minutes after 16:00:00Z / 5), capped at the eleventh (0.2 ETH).
