    Methodology

    • All figures are derived from the public dataset at /data/species.json and regenerated on every release.
    • Combinations exclude era, gender, and style modifiers — the true addressable space is far larger (see How it works).
    • Harshness is a heuristic, not a phonetic measurement. Useful for ranking, not absolute claims.
    • Dataset snapshot taken at 2026-05-08T12:15:25.951Z.
