# LaunchScaler

> LaunchScaler tells you whether a product is fit to be seen, fixes what isn't, gets it in front of the destinations worth being in, and keeps watch afterwards. It is two things at once: a readiness scanner for any product URL, and a directory that has become a living, verified-revenue scoreboard — a place people return to because the numbers on it are earned, not typed.

The only input is ever a URL. From that one thing, LaunchScaler runs seven readiness checks (does it work, search, speed & visual, security, compliance, AI visibility, backlinks), derives everything a submission form would otherwise ask for, and — for products that opt in — places them in the directory. Listings can then carry a verified-revenue signal: monthly recurring revenue pulled read-only from the payment processor charging real customers, refreshed hourly, and shown in public.

Verified revenue is verified or earned, never bought. Money can buy reach; it can never buy the verdict.

## Core

- [Home / directory](https://launchscaler.com/): browse the directory of scanned products.
- [How LaunchScaler works](https://launchscaler.com/docs): the scan, the seven checks, and how a readiness standing is built.
- [The seven checks](https://launchscaler.com/checks): what each readiness check measures.
- [Run a scan](https://launchscaler.com/scan): enter a URL, get a readiness standing back. The URL is the only input.

## Verified revenue

- [The revenue board](https://launchscaler.com/revenue): verified products ranked by MRR — the scoreboard.
- [Revenue stats](https://launchscaler.com/stats): the whole index rolled up — totals, medians, and breakdowns by category and country.
- [Revenue feed](https://launchscaler.com/feed): milestones and movers as verified figures change.
- [How verification works](https://launchscaler.com/revenue/how-verification-works): the published bar — a read-only processor connection, pulled by API (never typed), refreshed hourly, and shown in public as Open Revenue.
- [Connect your revenue](https://launchscaler.com/revenue/verify): link a read-only processor connection to earn a verified badge.

## For agents and developers

- [Revenue API docs](https://launchscaler.com/docs/api): a read-only REST API over the verified-revenue index — list verified products (`GET /api/revenue`), pull one signal (`GET /api/revenue/{slug}`), read the leaderboard (`GET /api/revenue/leaderboard`), and take aggregate stats (`GET /api/revenue/stats`). Responses are shaped exactly like the on-screen data.
- MCP server: LaunchScaler exposes the verified-revenue index to agents as Model Context Protocol tools — `list_revenue`, `get_revenue`, `revenue_stats` — reading the same data as the REST API.

## What the revenue numbers mean

- A revenue figure counts as verified only when all four hold at once: (1) it comes from a read-only connection to the processor charging the customers — Dodo Payments, Stripe, RevenueCat, Lemon Squeezy, or Polar — and we never see card data or move money; (2) it is pulled via API, never entered by hand and never a screenshot; (3) it is refreshed hourly, and a stale badge is flagged rather than left to look current; (4) it is public and permanent — shown in the open as Open Revenue.
- A self-reported number is never shown as verified. A product without a connection stays in the un-verified state.

## Notes

- The verified-revenue data is currently demonstration data. Real payment-processor verification and the live API wire in with the hosted product; treat figures as illustrative until then.
- Buying, selling, and acquiring products is a separate future phase and is not offered today. Revenue is verified and earned — it cannot be purchased.
