What a grade earns
A monthly price is capped by the grade the pack earned. A steadier pack carries a higher ceiling.
| Grade | Monthly ceiling |
|---|---|
| S | Uncapped |
| A | Uncapped |
| B | $199 |
| C | $99 |
| D | $29 |
Note. A free pack has no ceiling. An ungraded pack carries a provisional price, and the price is clamped to the ceiling when the grade arrives.
What review checks
A pack moves through four states on its way to the library, and every transition is written to an append-only review record.
| State | What it means | Who moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | The author is iterating. The pack is unlisted. | The author. |
| In review | The author submitted. The pack waits in the review queue. | The author. |
| Published | Approved. The pack is listed and installable. | A reviewer. |
| Rejected | Declined, with the reason on the record. The author may resubmit. | A reviewer. |
| Unpublished | Was live, now delisted. The author may resubmit. | A reviewer. |
Safe by default. Only a published pack is listed, and only a published pack can be installed. A pack that never passed review is unreachable from any work area.
