## Terminology
- ListBulb is a product discovery platform and AI tools directory. Submit a product URL; after review, your product goes live at /tools/[slug].
- A product in the public catalog is a page at /tools/[slug].
- The submitter’s official site is the product URL (the founder’s website).
- "Startup" refers to the audience (e.g. startup tools), not the catalog noun.

## Discovery model
- Each tool has exactly one primary category (navigation shelf at /category/[slug]).
- Optional tags (0–5 per tool) are cross-cutting filters on the homepage directory.
- Listings go live only after someone on our side reads the submission.
- Featured picks are highlights we chose by hand; verified means the owner proved domain control, not paid placement.
- Workflow stages (ai/dev/design/ship) are not used; discovery is category + tags only.

## Content Policy
- Listings go live only after manual review
- One primary category per tool; optional tags (up to five) describe cross-cutting traits
- Founders submit a product URL; approved listings are tool pages at /tools/[slug]
- Discovery uses categories and tags only (no workflow-stage filters)
- Pending submissions may exist at `/tools/[slug]` with `noindex` until approved
