How Rising is ranked

Agent demand first. An AI agent looking a tool up or fetching its install config over FastDrop's MCP server is a deliberate choice, so it outweighs a vote. Search appearances and page views count least: they are cheap to inflate.
Sustained, not a spike. Each day's activity is log-scaled before the week is summed, so one burst counts once and steady demand compounds.
Growth with a floor. Growth is this week over last week, smoothed so a tiny base cannot fake a huge multiplier. A product needs activity on at least 3 days, at least one agent lookup or install, and two different kinds of signal to qualify.
No pay-to-rank, no raw numbers. Rank is never for sale, and FastDrop publishes ratios and ranks only, never a product's raw traffic.
