Watchlist
Services with real potential that haven't crossed the qualification threshold yet. Potential means at least one criterion is already met — the gap is closeable. A 0/3 score gets declined outright; only 1/3 gets tracked here.

How It Works
Getting on the list
A service must score 1/3 — at least one real qualifying signal. Score 0/3 means no pricing, no self-service, no status page: nothing to build on, so it's declined outright.
Getting promoted
Score 2/3 or higher on a fresh evaluation. Re-submit or comment on the original issue with evidence that the missing criteria are now met.
Getting removed
Promoted to the main list, no progress for 6 months, or the service shuts down. Maintainers review quarterly.
Criteria to qualify
Transparent public pricing page, usage-based self-service signup, and a public SLA or status page. Any 2 of 3 is enough.
