LISTING CRITERIA
Coverage Rules
What qualifies as a listed entity and how coverage decisions are made.
Qualifies for listing
An entity generally qualifies when it has a stable public identity, clear software/product surface, and enough public evidence for PulseGate to anchor and monitor it consistently.
- Public product or tool URL
- Recognizable software identity or official store listing
- Enough corroborating evidence to avoid duplicate or low-trust inclusion
Does not qualify
Not every discovered URL should become a listed entity. PulseGate avoids listing thin, ambiguous, or non-product pages.
- Single marketing pages without product evidence
- Dead, suppressed, or clearly abandoned surfaces
- Non-software pages, generic company sites, mirrors, and clones
Public-facing requirement
PulseGate only lists entities that can be verified from public-facing surfaces. Private dashboards, closed betas without public identity, and inaccessible internal tools are out of scope.
Duplicate and canonical handling
Discovered URLs are resolved toward canonical entities whenever possible. Multiple URLs, stores, or mirrors may map to one listed entity when the public identity is clearly the same.
Directional coverage caveats
Coverage is designed to be useful, not exhaustive. Entire categories or geographies can have less complete coverage than others, especially where public structured data is scarce.
How to report a mismatch
If a listed entity looks miscategorized, duplicated, stale, or clearly outside coverage rules, use Report an Issue and include the affected URL or slug together with any public evidence that helps verify the correction.
