# RATINGS: desk-tier rating of ClusterMAX-reviewed providers against the floor

As of 2026-09-29. Method `desk-rate-0.1.0`. 85 providers. Generated by `rate.py`; row-level evidence is in `RATINGS.jsonl`.

## How to read this

- Each of six dimensions is **M**EETS, **S**HORT or **?** (UNKNOWN). `distance` = number of SHORT dimensions (0 to 6). `unk` = number of UNKNOWN dimensions, reported separately and never counted as SHORT. A row with distance 0 and many `?` is a thin row, not a passing row.
- `ev` = distinct evidence items behind the row (review sentences that bore on a dimension, provider surfaces, status/incident files, price rows). `claims` = all sentences on the review page. Rows with `ev` under 3 are marked with `†`.
- Sorted by distance ascending, then unknown ascending, then name. The top of the table is nearest the floor with the fewest gaps in evidence; a distance-0 row near the bottom of its group is mostly unknown.
- The ClusterMAX 2.0 page tier and 3.0 medal columns are imported context only. No score reads them.
- Review sentences are ClusterMAX 2.0 text (published 2025-11-06, 4 pages carry an April 2026 update). Provider surfaces were fetched 2026-09-29, status/incident files 2026-09-23 to 2026-09-29, prices are July 2026. Where a newer self-stated provider surface conflicts with an older review sentence, the row shows the review sentence under `superseded`; the surface statement is self-stated, not independently verified.
- A SHORT names a documented shortfall label and its evidence ids. It is a desk finding, not a verdict about cause, and does not replace the per-shop counter (`hot-aisle/campaign/shop-eval/counter`) or the diagnose rubric: those measure a machine, this reads documents.
- Failure of the reviewers to obtain test access is recorded as evidence but is not scored SHORT (it mixes provider friction with reviewer scope). Scored access shortfalls are `sales_call_only`, `access_weeks`, `account_gate`.
- `floor.json` item ids are bound afterwards (`FLOOR_BINDING` in `rate.py`; every label currently maps to none).

### Dimensions and rules

| dimension | SHORT when | MEETS when | labels |
|---|---|---|---|
| access | a review sentence shows a form/phone/invitation-only path, a KYC/quota/approval gate, or a wait of weeks; or a campaign listing row says sales-only with no self-serve row | a self-serve pricing page with dollar figures was fetched, or the campaign listing marks self-serve, or a positive access sentence; and no SHORT | sales_call_only, access_weeks, account_gate |
| delivery | a review sentence says health checks, monitoring, shared storage are absent, or Slurm/K8s is absent or did not work | at least one positive sentence on Slurm/K8s/health/monitoring/storage/network, more praise than unlabeled criticism, no SHORT | no_health_checks, no_monitoring, no_shared_storage, slurm_k8s_not_working, no_slurm_k8s_offering |
| security | review says no SOC 2/ISO attestation (unless superseded by the provider's own newer trust page), old driver/toolkit/CVE, no RBAC/SSO, or tenant-isolation gap | attestation held per review or self-stated on a provider trust page that names the provider; no SHORT | no_soc2, old_driver_cve, no_rbac, tenant_isolation_gap |
| reliability | no public status page (status-pages.json platform none, trust-center only, or dead) or reviewer-reported reliability complaints | incident history demonstrably covers the 180-day window, it has non-maintenance incidents with severities, and no SHORT. Zero incidents = unverifiable, UNKNOWN. Counts of major/critical incidents per 180 days are reported, no threshold is set | no_status_history, reliability_complaints |
| pricing | July 2026 on-demand median for H100 (else MI300X) above P75 of the market's provider medians; billing during outage; undisclosed underlying provider | median at or below P75 (or, with no percentile, a positive price sentence); no SHORT | above_price_band, billing_during_outage, undisclosed_provider |
| transparency | a facet is affirmatively negative: no public status page, undisclosed provider | at least 3 of 4 facets positive (status API, pricing public, provider disclosed, docs public) and none negative | mirrors labels above |

Transparency facets repeat facts already scored under access, reliability and pricing, as specified. `distance_excluding_transparency` (in the jsonl) removes that overlap.

Price notes: source is OpenComputePrices `latest-data` (2026-07-29), on-demand, per provider median, providers with at least 5 July rows. July rows above 3x a provider's own June median were dropped as scraper artefacts (for example a $100.00 H100 row for one provider); dropped counts are in each row.

## Distance to floor against the 3.0 medal

Description only. The 3.0 medal was published 2026-09-23 from a paywalled methodology; this rating is a desk reading of 2025-11 review text plus 2026 public surfaces. The two are not independent samples of one construct, the desk tier has unscored UNKNOWNs, and rows differ widely in evidence. Nothing below validates either measure.

All 85 providers (columns = distance to floor, counts of providers):
