How it works: each creator's score is derived from the heat of the works they are credited on, weighted by role (director, series composition, character design, music, etc.) and ranked as a percentile among this season's credited staff. Episode-level credits and name-mention signals will join the formula in later phases.

Not a fame ranking. We track how hot each studio's current works are — averaged, weighted toward standout works, with a log correction so sheer volume alone doesn't win.
