Positions come from Apple's public Developer Tools RSS charts for the US storefront, snapshotted daily. A drop-off means an app left that genre's top 100, not the App Store. Movement describes what happened, not why — a slide can be a rival's launch, the end of a promotion or seasonality as easily as anything the developer changed. See movement across all categories.
