How this works

Rankings are collected and maintained by FutureFounder based on each source's published rankings, awards, and editorial picks. We do not crawl in real time. The Consensus Score is a FutureFounder synthesis metric, not an official third-party rating. All 9 independent sources are weighted equally; the 3 GitHub signals are treated as a single adoption dimension.
