It's explained in the previous post! https://lichess.org/@/OnTheQueenside/blog/ranking-the-top-10-womens-chess-players-now/TeKhtUSL
@OnTheQueenside Ah Ok. Did you use a script to compile the list? Did you use Lichess database? Or PGNs?
The only world in which Vaishali comes close to top 10 is the Fantasy world.

There is one impostor among us moment... Tingjie very sus...
Here are the top women : (but the best woman, Hou Yifan, isn't included because she hates the way championships are done)
And Here are the top player, mixed : (but the best, Magnus Carlsen, isn't included because he hates the way championships are done)
I think it's a rather funny time that we're in where the "Being the best*" always come with an * .
Unfortunately, Divya's standout near-2600 performance to WIN the Sharjah Challengers didn't make it in time for this list. Another junior, Leya Garifullina, also had a strong performance as runner-up in Sharjah as well as a 2578 performance in the Russian Team Championship earlier this month, going undefeated in both events. They're now the #2 and #3 girls in the world after this month. They should certainly be ranked higher on your next list.

I just put together the list manually. If I had better datasets available, I would automate it, but I don't think that's feasible with what FIDE (or any other website) provides.
