How the status works. Each line's usual gap is the median of its last five gaps (releases less than a week apart count as one launch). The label says where the line stands in its own rhythm: Due from 85% to 100% of the usual gap, Past its usual gap after that, Mid-cycle in between, Just released for the first third. Lines are listed in that order, bigger makers first.
Why no dates. We tested "usual gap ± 15 days" against every release in our archive: it would have caught fewer than 1 in 5 of them. AI release rhythms are too irregular for a date to be honest — so we show the rhythm, not a prediction. In our archive, a new model came within a month about 1 time in 3 when a line was reaching its usual gap, and less often once it was past it: that is why we never count "days late".
A line whose wait, measured in its own usual gaps, is longer than almost every past gap in our archive (fewer than 5 lasted that long) is marked Quiet; after a year of silence it becomes Inactive and moves to the Archive. "Discontinued" is only for lines the maker has officially closed.
