## Weights

- CyberBench: primary, weight 1
- SRE Bench: secondary, weight 0.5

## How we decide

Cybersecurity is ranked by a weighted score over 2 benchmarks: CyberBench (primary, weight 1) and SRE Bench (secondary, weight 0.5).
Only validated results count. A new #1 takes the crown once its lead is confirmed by a second signal; until then the page says the crown is pending.
The verdict engine re-checks its sources every hour and records each crown change with its date.
