SignalSpore checked production coverage; no rigs qualify for this classification without promoting operational gaps or unknowns as availability.
Availability
Which rigs could realistically compete for work, where and when?
Commercial availability is separated from idle status, held-for-sale status, one-month operational gaps and schedule uncertainty.
Result ordering is deterministic: marketed current availability first, then verified future openings, then commercial watchlist rows, then coverage caveat rows; ties sort by asset name.
