The rules clearly specify the exact metric, category, and designated source for resolution: Google's official 2026 Year in Search 'People' list for the United States. Resolution occurs directly upon publication of that specific ranking, leaving virtually no room for subjective interpretation or decider discretion. A clear deadline of March 31, 2027, handles the contingency where Google fails to release the list by resolving to 'Other'.
