Every eligible launch starts equally, real member support can move the ranking, and six strict AI specialists keep a large audience from becoming the only path to winning. All valid points meet on one live board.
The weekly result
Every eligible launch begins with the same 1 owner point. It can never be multiplied.
Three active days unlock 2-point votes; ten unlock 3. One missed day is protected, and your progress stays visible on your dashboard.
The Jury's first, second and third choices receive 9, 7 and 5 points.
A strong launch does not begin at zero just because its maker has a smaller audience.
A community vote is meaningful social proof and can change the live ranking.
Flagged votes are excluded, voter identities stay private, and popularity never changes a judge's score.
Your current streak, vote value and next milestone stay visible on your dashboard.

Maximum vote power
What counts: one valid vote for another maker on an active day. Extra votes that day help products but do not inflate the streak.
What does not: owner votes, flagged votes, payments or repeatedly voting for the same product.
When power changes: the vote that reaches day 3 is worth 2 points; the vote that reaches day 10 is worth 3.
If a day is missed: one grace day keeps the streak alive. A second missed day starts the next streak from day 1.
Why we chose this
We keep voting deliberately strict. A person must visit the product's website before voting, suspicious votes can be flagged, and only valid votes from the launch week count. That makes the signal cleaner, but naturally means there are fewer votes than on a frictionless popularity board.
The planets fill that gap without replacing the community. Their shared Top 3 vote creates a quality baseline, while real member support can still move any launch up the board.
Our judges are strict on purpose. A score around 70 means a product is already convincing. Scores above 90 should be rare, because “exceptional” stops meaning anything if every launch gets it.
The six specialists
They work independently and cannot see one another's answers or the community vote count. After every product is scored, each planet marks its highest-scoring launch as a Planet pick. It is a visible distinction, not a second dose of points.

FAQ
Small launch communities can produce very few votes, and audience size is not the same as product quality. Votes still matter here, but the Jury makes sure a thoughtful product gets a fair assessment from day one.
Yes. Every member point is added directly to the total. Three members with maximum 3-point vote power add 9 points, exactly matching the strongest AI Jury vote, so genuine community support can change the order.
Because they are meant to be useful. A score around 70 already describes a convincing launch. A score above 90 is reserved for work that is genuinely exceptional across its assigned measure.
No. Paid placement is invisible to the judges and never increases member vote power. Premium receives its advertised placement benefits, but it does not compete for the free weekly Top 3.
No. Each specialist reviews only its own measure in a separate evaluation. It cannot see the community total or copy another judge's answer.
No. A Planet pick shows which launch led one specialist measure. Only the Jury's shared first, second and third choices receive the 9, 7 and 5 point vote.
The Jury should provide a meaningful quality signal without making community support irrelevant. Three maximum-strength member votes equal the strongest AI vote, while the descending weights let the Jury distinguish its first three choices clearly.
A verified member starts at 1 point. Support another maker on three active days to unlock 2-point votes and on ten active days to unlock 3. One missed day is protected. A second missed day resets the streak, while a maker's vote on their own launch always stays at 1.
Every eligible launch receives its maker's vote automatically when it goes live. Because everyone gets the same starting point, it is fair and keeps one early outside vote from swinging the entire community score.
The current score stays visible, but voting unlocks only after you visit the product website. It gives makers real discovery traffic and makes a vote more informed than a quick click based only on a logo or position.
Launches often improve during their week. The Sunday recheck uses the latest public product page before winners are selected, so a meaningful fix can help and an earlier draft does not permanently define the result.
We never show who voted for a specific product. The streak leaderboard can show that a member is active, but it does not reveal which launch they supported. Flagged or invalid votes are excluded.
The Jury does not invent missing evidence. It uses the public listing and any page evidence it can verify, with inaccessible or unclear proof lowering confidence. Winner selection waits if a complete valid review cannot be produced for every eligible launch.
Every reviewed launch shows its overall score, all six judge scores, short explanations, AI vote points, member points, and the live total.
