The Ranking Formula & Hierarchy

Transparent deterministic ordering designed for zero manipulation.

Deterministic Algorithmic Order
Priority 1
Verified Support Count

Every verified member can support a product once. Products with higher organic upvotes rank higher.

Priority 2 (Tie-Breaker)
Earlier Schedule Time

If support counts are identical, listings scheduled earlier in the UTC cohort week take precedence.

Priority 3
Product ID (Seniority)

Final tie-break uses the unique database entry sequence for guaranteed deterministic stability.

Maker self-voting is strictly forbidden
Sponsored placements clearly segregated
How ranking works Documentation Last Updated: Oct 30, 2026

Verified members can support a published product once. You cannot support your own product.

Inside a launch week, organic products are ordered by support count, then earlier schedule time, then product id. Sponsored items are labeled and listed apart from that order.

A paid plan cannot add supports. Account deletion removes that member’s supports and lowers the count.
