How Trends Are Ranked & Discovered

Every trend you see below is automatically scored and staged by our pipeline. Here's exactly how it works.

How We Score

Each term gets a 0–100 score from four weighted dimensions:

Score = weighted composite of four dimensions:
  • Channel diversity (highest weight)
  • Signal strength across independent platforms
  • Community engagement velocity
  • Cross-platform propagation

Maturity stages — based on age since first detection:

Nascent Emergent Validating Rising

Report thresholds: Top tier deep research report · Mid range quick brief · Lower range monitoring only

How Terms Are Discovered

Every night, our LLM pipeline scans signals from 30+ platforms and extracts emerging terms using 5 rules:

  • Cross-platform validation — a term must appear in ≥2 independent platforms, not a single isolated post.
  • Representative filtering — new products are only kept if they represent a broader emerging pattern, not one-off launches.
  • Discussion volume threshold— low-score single posts don't qualify; there must be genuine community interest.
  • Generic term blacklist — known broad terms (AI, React, Python, API, LLM, GPT) are automatically ignored.
  • Quality over quantity — only terms with genuine cross-source validation are accepted. No numeric cap.

Sources: HN, Reddit, GitHub, Product Hunt, X, DEV Community, V2EX, Lobsters, and more.

Two Engines, One Report

Every night, our dual-engine system scans the internet. Every morning, you get one decision — validated, priced, and ready to execute.

Discovery Engine

AI scans 30+ platforms — HN, Reddit, GitHub, Product Hunt, X, DEV, V2EX, and more — for emerging pain points, rising trends, and market gaps. Every term is cross-validated across independent sources before it reaches your dashboard.

  • Cross-platform signal validation
  • Pain point vs. hype detection
  • Actionability scoring

Monitoring Engine

Follow up to 10 topics, people, or tech stacks. Every day, the AI tells you what's happening, and — most importantly — what you should do about it. Track competitors, spot shifts in developer sentiment, and catch opportunities before they hit the mainstream.

  • Topic trend analysis
  • Pricing & feature change signals
  • Actionable alerts, not noise
