THE PROMISE BEHIND THE PLAN

Growth will never buy the leaderboard.

Rank decides

Leaderboard rewards go to the qualifying products in position when a milestone is reached.

Exposure only

Reviews and features can help discovery. They never add votes, change results or purchase rank.

Built in public

Proposed milestones stay open to founder feedback until their scope is clear and useful.
