# How ranking works on ufind.best

Canonical page: https://ufind.best/how-voting-works

Every launch week is a cohort. At the end of the week a Top 3 is chosen from that cohort, and nothing outside it competes.

## Two inputs
- **Member votes.** Cast by signed-in members on the tools in the current cohort.
- **The AI Jury.** Six judges, each reading a different question — the product's own claims, its market, its craft, its interface, its durability, its usefulness. Each returns a score with reasons. They are weighted, not averaged equally, and they read a frozen snapshot of the evidence so a rerun cannot quietly produce a different answer.

## What cannot influence either
- Paying for a Premium listing.
- Buying Growth.
- Being a partner, or appearing in a paid slot anywhere on the site.

Paid placement is labelled where it appears. It is a separate system from the weekly competition, and the two are never mixed.
