It would be interesting to examine if a8tune uses formulas or a database with all values fixed and not computed. I'll ask CrazyTriangle333 who is familiar with JavaScript if they can have a look at the site and tell us how it works. I simply don't have the time to do that at the moment.

Hi guys, sharing a screenshot from a8tune:

You can see the stats are computed in PHP (provided the real language is not masked ;)) and they are fetched by JavaScript via Ajax calls to the PHP server (after every single click on the left / right arrows).

So it looks like we can't tell how exactly they compute the values. Maybe they delegate the computation to some of those XLS sheets linked in a8tune page footer. There are also other seemingly useful links in the footer, but unfortunately all the resources seem to be in Russian, so a little language barrier here...

From what I've seen so far though, I guess they do compute the stats using various formulas in the end.
