One row per top-100 chart, in Helm-user language: can I try it, what must I provide, what does ConfigHub/installer absorb, and what happens next. Buckets are deterministic projections of curated repo data; the mapping rules and limits are in the reference doc. Full detail per chart is in readiness.csv.

BucketChartsMeaning
ready-to-try20Catalog-supported with live evidence; the recommended first base passes its lanes. Pull it and inspect the exact objects.
works-with-target-prerequisites15Proof-grade and review-queued; the named gap is something your cluster or team must provide (existing Secret, storage, CRD ownership).
works-with-operator-review23Proof-grade; render parity holds, but an operator should review the catalog shape (hooks, lifecycle, HA teaching, variant naming) before relying on it.
needs-better-base-variant33The mechanism is proven, but the install shapes a real user wants are not built or reviewed yet.
not-ready-yet9A named limitation or target compatibility issue needs a support / disclose / defer / refuse decision before this chart can be promoted.
