why we don't have a minimum revenue requirement

a tool with nine paying users and a clean codebase clears the bar. one with fifty thousand in self-reported mrr and no repo access does not.

a lot of marketplaces gate listing on revenue. we don't, on purpose. a minimum revenue requirement rewards whoever's been running longest, not whoever built the most honest product.

the check we actually run is proof of substance, not proof of size. that's a small mrr that holds over time, a verified user count, or a completed audit. it does not require six figures, and it does not accept a single self-generated transaction as evidence.

nine paying users and a clean repo clears the bar. fifty thousand in self-reported mrr and no repo access does not.

the tradeoff is real. we will list an early product with a small, real user base before we list a bigger one we can't verify. that's the bet a curated marketplace has to make.
