Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
Media. Launched 3d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 29 votes. Today, the site itself changed 1d ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing. It's anchored at 258 pts, with the crowd paying +4% on top.
It launched on Product Hunt with 29 votes. It also showed up on 1 other board — but didn't place in the top 25% on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Quiet for 1 day — no penalty yet. Bleeding begins on day 7.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
No names, on purpose — a call is worth what it turns out to be worth, not who made it. And none of this money moved the price: the line above only responds to what the launch actually did.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
