Protocol log for South Africa storefront cards only. The runway ranks Strike Fighters, Turboprop Flight Simulator, Ace Fighter, and War Plane Strike by published star average, then review sample. Facts below were read on 9 November 2026.
Step 1 opened each Google Play URL on the ZA locale. Step 2 recorded only fields the card printed: star average, rating count, install band, age label, ads / purchases line, and update stamp. Step 3 sorted by star average descending, then by rating count when averages sat close. Step 4 wrote a review URL for every ranked card before the list went public.
The protocol does not invent size, OS floors, or version strings when the ZA card omits them. Installs happen on Google Play; this desk never hosts a binary.

Widths map to the published ZA averages recorded on 9 November 2026. No histogram bins were present on these cards, so the protocol stops at the mean.
