Seat ledger
100 Main list (cross-category fills not counted)
0 Provisional (score qualifies, not all eight gates passed)
0 Blank (not forcibly filled)
Rules: pass all eight gates and the category has a free seat → join the list; when full, a challenger must score higher than the lowest-scoring member for 7 days in a row. Any member that leaves the main list (failed a gate, swapped out, or cut when its category is over quota) goes on 21-day probation; if it has not returned when the 21 days end, it goes back to the challenger list (some tools are archived in the Museum instead). New members are protected for 14 days. The public list has a fixed 100 seats: tools that pass all eight gates but exceed the quota, and tools that have not yet passed all eight gates, are listed as challengers. Scoring transition (since 2026-09-30): until the new scoring formula goes live, no member is cut for being over quota; qualified tools beyond the quota are listed as challengers for now.
How the 100 seats are split
Each category has a fixed quota. When a category has fewer qualified tools than its quota, the empty seats are filled by the highest-scoring qualified tools from other categories, so the total is always 100. Tools filling in from other categories are not counted as main-list members.
| Category | Quota | Seated from this category | Filled from other categories |
|---|---|---|---|
| General AI Assistants | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| AI Search and Research | 4 | 4 | 0 |
| Writing and Translation | 4 | 4 | 0 |
| Marketing and SEO | 4 | 4 | 0 |

If it has not returned when the countdown ends, it goes back to the challenger list (some tools are archived in the Museum instead).

Cross-category seats (verified 0 · under review 0) — not counted as main list
These tools fill the seats left empty where a category has fewer qualified tools than its quota (see “Filled from other categories” above), so all 100 seats are taken — none have disappeared. They hold seats but are not counted as main-list members (Howard, 2026-10-05).
