01
Heat
Heat decides the live board. Backing and founder votes add it. Challenges remove it. Every Monday it fades by 10%, so no spot stays safe forever. Heat measures momentum, not quality.
The rules, in plain language
How the board works
Saastlers has two separate ideas: Heat and Reputation. Money can move Heat. It cannot buy Reputation.
02
Reputation
Reputation is earned. It comes from trust signals such as verified founder support and consistent shipping. You cannot purchase it, and nobody can challenge it away.
03
Challenges
Challenges affect rank, not reputation. A Challenge can remove temporary Heat. It cannot remove a listing, change reviews or reduce Reputation.
04
Payments
Payments buy Heat, not guaranteed results. Rank can change at any time. Saastlers does not promise traffic, customers, leads or revenue.
05
Weekly decay
Your Heat drops every Monday. A product that stops earning fresh support slides down the board no matter how much Heat it once had. Momentum is re-earned every week.
06
No fake numbers
Saastlers never invents votes, backing, shipping events or social proof. When something hasn't happened yet, the board says pending instead of showing a made-up number.
Common questions
- Can I buy my way to #1?
- You can buy Heat and take #1 this week. You can't buy Reputation, and Monday's decay means you have to keep earning the spot.
- What is Reputation?
- An earned score from verified support, shipping history, and longevity. Nobody can buy it or challenge it away.
- Does my rank last?
- Heat fades 10% every Monday. A product that stops earning slides down no matter how much it once paid.
