The mechanic pointed at AI models instead of products: anyone can pay from $1 onto a model, the sums accumulate, and the rank is the accumulated total, so it is a crowdfunded popularity contest rather than a duel. A takeover at twice the current top locks the board for three hours. Payments through Lemon Squeezy, with an unusually honest rule that refunds are subtracted from the model’s total. The operator is anonymous; the domain was registered through Cloudflare on 21 August 2026. All entries were "6 days ago" on 27 August: frozen since 22 August.

How the mechanism works, and why it works here 7 of 7 blocks · the schema
Every project is taken apart with the same seven questions, each borrowed from a standard analysis tool, so you can compare this one with any other on the board. The funnel numbers come from the daily snapshots, not from the creator.
