The Standings · where the market checks

Where the market
checks.

Every vendor's billing rule, dated, in public. And how each AI agent holds up, pooled from buyers' own records, once members open it.

Rule Watch · public · read every week

Every rule change, dated.

Vendors write the rule that decides what you are billed for, and they change it. We read each vendor's own pages every week and keep every dated version. Real sources, in our own words.

What each vendor counts today, side by side with the buyer's definition: the buyer's definition of resolved →

The ranking · invented names until members open it

How each agent holds up.

Of every 100 results buyers paid for, how many held up, counted from the buyers' own records under one public rule. Opens once buyers pool their counts.

The rules of the Standings
No place is for sale.
Named only with consent.
Counts and method, never opinion.
Every vendor can reply.

Pooled from buyers' own records, under one public rule. A number never names a single buyer. A vendor's reply sits on its own sheet, beside the count.
