The overall index is the COMPOSITE of the four buyer-tier indices (individual / pro / team&sme / enterprise): each day it moves by the equal-weighted average of the tiers' moves. Each tier index is like-for-like — only agents priced on both consecutive scan days (per-agent ratios, geometric mean, clipped to [0.2, 5]) — so composition changes (agents revealing or hiding prices) can never move it."
