What this does not say
This ranks how production-ready each product's public surface is — not how well it does its job. For ci/cd platform, that means it does not measure the quality of the work itself. Products whose sites block automated readers are left out rather than ranked last — we did not measure them, and bottom placement would claim something we never observed. Scores are floors: anything set at a CDN, a proxy or behind a login is invisible from the public surface.
