title: Top100 Status Model status: current last_reviewed: 2026-06-14 ---
The top20, top100, and top500 views are not the same claim.
Top20 is the strongest curated catalog slice. It has recipes, package artifacts, variants, receipts, local/live evidence, and production-scope decisions for selected bases.
Top100 is the expansion surface. Some charts are ready to try, some need target prerequisites, some need operator review, and some need better base variants before they are good product choices.
Top500 is planning and market analysis. It helps decide where the catalog should go next; it is not the same as a proof-backed supported catalog.
