Market and catalogue signals · secondary, never the language Index rank
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Not yet published: a pinned repository revision, the architecture and model type, a parameter count, safetensors weight metadata, the base model it derives from, a declared licence, a link to the licence terms, pinned evaluation dataset versions.
A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
