Uptime is ok checks over total checks, REST only. Both percentiles are medians of daily percentiles over the window rather than the window's own — percentiles do not compose, and the daily rollup is the finest grain that outlives raw retention. Green marks the better column on that row and nothing else: a venue with no measurement never wins one.
