Frequently Asked Questions
By community interest score. Higher score means more people engaged with the product at launch. We show engagement ratio as a secondary metric because it separates one-day hype from products that generated real conversation.
Launch-day attention. It's a popularity signal, not a quality score. A product with 2,000 interest might be worse than one with 400. The number tells you who showed up, not who stayed.
Discussion threads divided by interest score. Above 0.30 is strong. Means people cared enough to write about it. Below 0.15 is a warning sign: lots of eyeballs, not much substance. We've found it's the single best predictor of whether a product has staying power.
No. Zero sponsorships, zero paid placements. Rankings come directly from community engagement data.
We pull new launch data regularly and rebuild the entire index. Historical scores are preserved. A product's launch-day numbers don't change retroactively, which keeps the rankings honest.
