Moneyball — underexhibited works draft

Met Museum works by network-central artists that aren't currently on view. Combines Getty centrality, Met onDisplay status, and Wikipedia popularity.

Draft. This report is a v0 starting point. To be true Moneyball it still needs auction-trends data, scholarly citation counts, and a few novel composite stats blending external signals.

Draft — work in progress. This v0 blends only three internal signals (Getty centrality, Met onDisplay status, Wikipedia pageviews). True Moneyball needs auction-trend data, scholarly citation counts, exhibition history, and novel composite stats built from those external signals. Treat current rankings as a sketch, not a verdict.

Network degree is the artist's total Getty-recorded connections — a proxy for art-historical structural importance. On view is the Met's current display status. Wikipedia pageviews (when available) layer on a popularity signal.
