    "- **Merge/dedupe:** Fleet Harden kept as service umbrella (not double-counted with SilentGreen/HostKill/MCP). X URL Tax and Mention Budget kept separate (write tax vs read FinOps). Listing Sprint = services Idea 4 only.",
    "- **Score method:** ordinal rank on (first-dollar days estimate from source docs) × (S>M>W from source evidence quality labels / primary density); crowded-category and compliance gates applied as penalties (HostKill, Clinic, Mention Budget).",
    "- **Date preference inherited:** Jul–Sep 2026 preferred; older hops labeled in sources (AMA mid-2025 fielding; Chartbeat Mar 2026; Reddit $1400 via secondary).",

    "3. **Few Jul–Sep primary founder X rants** scraped this pass (web-index / secondary).",
    "4. **Listing Sprint evidence = M** — HomeSpot/aiNOW competitor pages + aggregator volume more than buyer complaint threads; no mystery-shopped agency quotes.",
    "5. **OpenClaw #134143 fixed 2026-09-02** — class evidence only for MCP Reach; not an open bug forever.",
    "6. **Clinic HIPAA** — strongest PA COUNTS but highest regulatory kill risk; demoted from top 10.",
    "7. **usectl migrate proof** — PaaS Exit logical fit; **no published usectl case counts** in platforms brief.",
