What separates a real product from a demo here?

A proof that is still resolving months later. Launch-day numbers say very little in this category.

Are consumer and team products ranked separately?

No. They compete on the same evidence-weighted score, and tags can be used to narrow the list further.

Ranking productivity products on evidence

Productivity is the category where usage matters far more than acquisition. Every note-taking app, task manager and focus tool acquires easily and loses most of those users inside a month, so the numbers that separate a real product from a well-designed demo are the ones that persist across re-checks rather than the ones on launch day.

Re-checking is what makes verification useful here. A proof that is still resolving months after launch means someone is still maintaining the product, which is precisely what this category is hardest to prove and easiest to claim.

The category holds personal and team task management, notes and knowledge tools, scheduling and calendar products, focus and time tracking, and the automation tools that stitch them together. Consumer and team products compete on the same score.
