Drafts, pending, rejected and unlisted submissions are excluded. - Category and tags are chosen by the founder who submits the product and are checked by a reviewer before go-live. They describe how founders classify their own product, not an independent audit. - Badge verification is an automated check that the product's own site displays the ListBulb badge. Go-live dates are set by ListBulb when a listing is approved. - Refresh: recomputed from the database whenever the page is rendered; the data last changed on November 12, 2026, the newest edit to any live listing. - Rounding: percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number. A finding is left out when fewer than 20 listings sit behind it. The listing-pace comparison treats gaps under 5% as "about the same". ## Suggested citation ListBulb. (November 2026).
