Algorithmic Transparency & Methodology

100% deterministic, auditable, and free of black-box manipulation.

∑

Deterministic Ranking Formula

A startup or product's rank is computed strictly using a cumulative score:

ORDER BY cumulative_boost_score DESC, created_at ASC

There are zero subjective weights, sponsor bonuses, or manual adjustments. If two startups or products have identical boost amounts, the entry that registered earliest takes precedence.

💱

Multi-Currency Normalization

The platform supports localized payment channels (UPI for India, BuyMeACoffee/Stripe internationally):

1 USD ≈ ₹90 INR (Normalized parity score)

Payments submitted in USD are converted into standardized base points so international and Indian startups and products compete on a balanced, equitable leaderboard.

🛡️

IP-Verified Unique Visitor Tracking

Unlike directories that count raw bot clicks:

Hash(client_ip + date + startup_id) → Unique Count

Each outbound visit is rate-limited by hashed client IP address to eliminate automated spidering and click-inflation scripts while respecting user privacy.

⚡

Instant Verification & Crediting

Boost transactions are attributed via unique startup or product slugs:

UPI Remark / Supporter Note: "boost {slug}"

Upon payment confirmation, rankings are recomputed and cached positions are invalidated, instantly moving your startup or product up the global and regional leaderboards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about rankings, boosts, and payments

What is rank.llmlab.in?
rank.llmlab.in is a transparent, pay-to-rank startup and product leaderboard. Startups, digital products, tools, and SaaS ventures from around the world compete for visibility by boosting their rank through payments via instant UPI QR (in India) or BuyMeACoffee (internationally). The entry with the highest cumulative boost score is ranked #1. Rankings are updated in real time and can be filtered by country.
How are startups and products ranked on rank.llmlab.in?
Entries are ranked strictly by their cumulative boost score — the total amount paid to boost their visibility. Every rupee or dollar contributed is added to the entry's score. The startup or product with the highest score ranks #1. In case of a tie, the earlier-registered entry ranks higher.
Can I list an indie digital product, SaaS, or developer tool?
Yes! rank.llmlab.in is built for both early-stage startups and standalone digital products, indie SaaS, developer tools, AI apps, and software projects. Any product or venture with a live website can register for free.
How do I list my startup or product on the leaderboard?
Visit rank.llmlab.in/register and click 'List Startup or Product on Leaderboard'. Listing is 100% free and requires only your venture or product name, website URL, tagline, and country. Once listed, you or your supporters can boost your rank immediately or anytime afterwards.
Is paying to boost a startup or product a tax-deductible donation?
No. Boosts and sponsorships on rank.llmlab.in are voluntary digital service payments made to an independent individual creator (llmlab.in) for priority digital listing visibility and server upkeep. They are NOT charitable donations under Section 80G/12A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, or Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code.
Who operates rank.llmlab.in?
rank.llmlab.in is an independent open project created and maintained by an individual software engineer under the domain llmlab.in. It is not an incorporated corporate conglomerate, NGO, trust, or charity. Full disclosures are published at /compliance.
What payment methods are accepted?
For Indian users, rank.llmlab.in supports dynamic instant UPI QR codes compatible with Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, and any NPCI-authorized UPI app. For international users, payments are processed via BuyMeACoffee supporting major Credit/Debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.
What is the refund policy for rank boosts?
All boost payments are strictly non-refundable. Because boost points immediately adjust live algorithmic leaderboard rankings worldwide upon receipt, digital delivery is instant, consumed, and irreversible.
How does unique visit tracking work?
When visitors click external startup or product links from the leaderboard, we append standard UTM parameters and securely process the client's IP address to count unique human visits and prevent automated bot click fraud. No personal financial or cross-site tracking data is gathered.
How much does it cost to rank #1?
There is no fixed price for the #1 spot — it is determined by real-time competitive bidding. Your startup or product ranks #1 as long as your cumulative boost score exceeds every other entry. Boosts start from as little as ₹100 or $5.
Is the ranking transparent?
Yes. The ranking algorithm is 100% mathematical and open: the entry with the highest cumulative payment total (boost score) ranks #1. There are no hidden weights, editorial biases, or subjective reviews.
Can I filter startups and products by country?
Yes. rank.llmlab.in supports both a Global leaderboard and country-specific leaderboards. Use the toggle on the homepage or visit /country/{countryCode} (e.g., /country/in for India or /country/us for the United States) to see localized rankings.
