Similar Software

Transparent by design

How suggestions are made

Similarity starts with reviewed product attributes, not sponsorships or a runtime chatbot.

1. Evidence becomes structured attributes

Approved public sources are mapped to identity, licensing, pricing, platforms, capabilities, deployment, resource use, privacy, accessibility, and maturity. Every displayed value carries its basis, confidence, observation date, and review date.

2. Attributes become a semantic vector

A deterministic document excludes volatile prices, URLs, votes, and marketing prose. Its 768-dimensional embedding helps locate products with similar characteristics.

3. Results are filtered and explained

Only published products using the current embedding contract are eligible. The nearest candidates receive a small, smoothed adjustment from signed-in feedback. “Why similar” text comes from concrete overlapping attributes.

What the labels mean

  • Sourced: directly supported by an approved source.
  • Inferred: a restrained conclusion from sourced facts.
  • Editorial: a reviewed assessment made for comparison.
