What the B200 rental price did
One line per source from the same hourly snapshots: the current window against the one before it, and against the first week collected. A source with too few days says so instead of showing a change.

No day was excluded.
A day is the median of its hourly medians, counting only hours with at least five offers (verified hosts on Vast.ai, free hosts on Clore.ai). A week is the median of its days and needs at least four of them. Words follow fixed thresholds: up or down from ±8 %, sharply from ±20 %; offers up or down from ±15 %. How the index is made →

Rent or buy
A single B200 has no sourced purchase price: it is a data-center part sold inside systems, so there is no honest break-even to print.
