What being listed actually means

Not a badge. Not a directory entry. A live intelligence feed into where your product stands with thousands of advisors.

Co-Pilot visibility

When advisors ask Staq's AI co-pilot which tools to use, your product is part of the answer — when it's genuinely the right fit. Every Co-Pilot response that mentions your product is logged in your dashboard.

Prescription analytics

See exactly how many advisors are being prescribed your tool this week, the AUM ranges and firm types of those advisors, and how your prescription rate trends over time.

Profile analytics

Track how many advisors viewed your full profile, how long they spent on it, and whether they added you to their stack or comparison shortlist.

KB profile ownership

Your product profile in the Staq knowledge base is the source of truth Co-Pilot uses when answering advisor questions. You own it. When something changes, you update it and we publish it.

Competitive intelligence

See your Staq score vs. your primary alternatives. See which categories your competitors are winning and where you're outperforming. Know how the algorithm compares you.

Direct advisor access

When an advisor is actively evaluating tools in your category and your product is on their shortlist, you can see that signal in your dashboard. Warm, not cold.

The 9-point scorecard

Every tool is evaluated on the same criteria. No exceptions. Minimum score of 8.2/10 to be listed. This is non-negotiable.

01

Core functionality

Does it do the core job at an excellent level?

02

Integration quality

How cleanly does it connect to the rest of the advisor stack?

03

Reliability

Uptime, stability, trust. Advisors cannot afford downtime.

04

Support

Quality and responsiveness when things go wrong.

05

Implementation

How hard is it to get running? What does onboarding actually look like?

06

Pricing fairness

Value for the money relative to what it delivers.

07

Security

Data security certifications, compliance posture, access controls.

08

Trajectory

Is the product growing, investing in R&D, gaining market share?

09

Advisor experience

Is this something advisors actually enjoy using?

Important: Scoring is independent of payment. Your score determines whether you are listed and how you are prescribed. Payment determines visibility and access to analytics. A tool that scores 9.5 and does not pay is still listed and still prescribed. A tool that pays but scores 7.8 is not listed.

One price. No games.

We are not a directory with fifteen tiers and hidden fees. One listing, full platform, everything included.
