Ranking methodology

Candidates are ranked only after separating model quality from lifecycle safety. A high benchmark score can improve rank, but deprecated, superseded, unavailable, or insufficiently evidenced models stay out of public recommendation authority.

Primary signals
  • Official lifecycle, availability, pricing, and provider documentation
  • Leaderboard and benchmark evidence for model quality and preference
Disqualifiers
  • Deprecated, superseded, retired, or blocked lifecycle status
  • Missing official availability or provider surface evidence
  • Missing required lane evidence gates
  • Provider binding conflicts for lanes that require a deployable offering
  • Context mismatch between the solution slot and the ranking lane
Refresh cadence: 30 days
