Status: Draft 1
Last updated: 2026-03-07
This file tracks candidates that may belong in the AI Capability Reference but are not yet clearly in scope.
The watchlist exists to keep scope decisions explicit.
Use it for:
- borderline consumer products
- rising model families
- open/local tools that may deserve first-class treatment later
- products used in teaching or demos before they clearly meet the broader inclusion bar
Do not use it as a dumping ground for everything interesting.
Add a watchlist entry when:
- the thing may belong, but evidence is still incomplete
- public usage or visibility is unclear
- the ontology placement is not settled
- the product is relevant to teaching, but the long-term case for inclusion is still uncertain
Move an item out of the watchlist when one of these becomes true:
- it clearly belongs in the ontology and active data
- it clearly does not belong in scope
- it was a transient curiosity with no lasting relevance
A watchlist item should usually answer these questions:
- What kind of thing is it?
- Can an ordinary person sign up for it, access it, or run it locally?
- Is there evidence of meaningful public usage, visibility, or teaching relevance?
- Would adding it help users compare capabilities, access, or deployment choices?
- What evidence is still missing?
- Add a short entry below.
- Gather sources with Perplexity or another research workflow.
- Compare the findings against SCOPE.md and ONTOLOGY.md.
- Promote to active records only when the case is clear enough to maintain.
## Candidate Name
- Entity type:
- Why it might belong:
- Why it might not:
- User path:
- Evidence to collect:
- Current decision:
- Notes:- Entity type: Provider or product, not yet settled
- Why it might belong: Potentially relevant to local/open model teaching and demos
- Why it might not: Product boundary, public usage, and ontology placement are not yet clear
- User path: Needs clarification on whether an ordinary person signs up for a product, accesses a model endpoint, or uses it as part of a local workflow
- Evidence to collect: Official product pages, access path, pricing/access model, whether it is consumer-facing, whether it materially changes deployment choice
- Current decision: Watch
- Notes: Good example of why the watchlist should exist before adding a provider or product record
