How badges are awarded

Badges come from the published scores alone. Claiming or paying has no effect on them.

Ranked badge (gold)

The three tools with the highest Autonomous Execution Score (AES) in each category. The badge shows the rank, such as “#1 in Voice AI”. Ties go to the higher Value-to-Cost Ratio.

Listed badge (grey)

Every other tool in the index. It shows the category and the tool’s AES.

Badges update themselves

Each badge is served live. If a score changes and a tool leaves its category's top 3, its badge changes within a few hours.

Getting the embed code

The embed code appears on a tool's profile once its team has claimed the listing.
