Wiki Ninja belt status - Data discrepancy

Question
-
The below blog post from Ronen shows the current belt status of all WIKI ninjas
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/wikininjas/2016/09/17/the-ninja-belt-calculator-has-just-been-run-and-the-list-of-ninja-belts-have-been-updated/
My status is listed like below
Prashanth Jayaram
Achievements for current belt:
Has New Wiki Contributor Bronze achievement medal
Has New Wiki Editor Bronze achievement medal
Has New Wiki Commentator Bronze achievement medal
Has 1 Top Contributor win
Progress towards next belt:
Has Wiki Editor II Silver achievement medal
Needs 1 more Top Contributor win
In that, I can see that "Needs 1 more Top contributor win" in the above-listed points.
But in this recent blog post by Pete Laker(Weekly Top contributor awards),It's been mentioned that have won 3 previous Top contributor awards.

Prashanth Jayaram has won 3 previous Top Contributor Awards:

I think there is a data discrepancy. Can someone please check and update?

It is not the total number of Top Contributor Awards, but the number received since the last belt was achieved. For example, many belts have this requirement:
Benchmark - You placed in the Top Weekly Contributors 1 time after receiving the previous belt.
Does this explain your situation? Check the requirements for the belts here:

And keep in mind the Ninja belt calculation is a view on a certain point in time. It's not updated automatically.
So if the guru competition is updated, you will get new/different result for the next belt calculation.Due to the limited (wo)man-power we have in the Wiki Council, the belt calculations are only run now and then.
This is not automated (yet)... (this is all run after-hours for free, no budget, volunteers...)
