01

Official source data

Names, taglines, topics, votes, comments, links, and dailyRank come from the Product Hunt API. We do not reconstruct rank from vote counts.

02

A completed Pacific day

Reports cover yesterday in America/Los_Angeles. The scheduler accounts for daylight saving time and never presents a partial leaderboard as final.

03

Bounded AI analysis

AI receives only the captured Product Hunt facts. Structured output is schema-validated, and it must not invent revenue, funding, technology, pricing, traction, or user counts.

04

Failure-safe publishing

If analysis fails, the factual ranking still publishes. Every page visibly separates “Facts from Product Hunt” from “AI-generated inference.”
