Top 100 threshold: Installs of the app at position 100 in the category's free chart: roughly what it takes to get there.
New in the top: Share of the top 200 released in the last 12 months: can newcomers break in.
Local in the top: Share of the top 200 available in no more than 3 countries: do local apps win, or global giants.
Local apps: Live apps available only in this country (and at most two others).
