NO SECRET BOOSTS. NO PAID #1.
An idea, a product you are building, or a live product. Each competes only inside its matching arena.
No for Idea and Building. A reachable public URL and screenshot are required for Live. A build needs one real visual; an idea needs neither.
No. Each stage has its own arena, ranking and weekly champion.
Yes. Every LaunchThrone user can do both.
Same-stage choices, opponent strength, evidence volume and uncertainty. Rank is not an objective quality score.
No. Payments never affect rank, exposure, qualification or Spotlight.
No. Owners and team members cannot rank their own products.
No product wins or loses. The response becomes an aggregate clarity signal.
Drafting, previewing and judging are free. Activate an approved entry with a Founding Pass or the €9 Arena Pass when paid checkout opens. Payment never improves rank.
Basic head-to-head judging is not paid. This protects the quality and neutrality of the ranking.
LaunchThrone is public. Do not submit confidential information or ideas you are not prepared to share publicly.
An optional stage-aware report explaining preference signals. Buying it never changes competition outcomes.
