+# 421 digital products, opened one by one (August 2026)
+
+We bought or opened **421 digital products** (templates, presets, plugins, extensions, spreadsheets, LUTs, Notion/Obsidian kits, code packs) across creator marketplaces and recorded what was actually inside, what it cost, and how the paid share splits by format. The point: **paid share is a property of the format and the shelf, not of the file** — the same .pptx sells at $15 and at $143, and paid share ranges from ~8% (slide decks) to 100% (VS Code themes).
+
+This is the raw table behind the ReadyStack product research. CC0 — use it for anything; a link back to https://getreadystack.com/data/ is appreciated but not required.
+
+## Files
+- `421-products.csv` / `421-products.json` — one row per product, 13 columns: `name`, `platform`, `url`, `price_usd`, `units_floor`, `sales_evidence`, `file_format`, `free_bait`, `title_pattern`, `use_mechanism`, `complexity`, `what_buyer_receives`, `checked_on`
+
+## How it was collected
+Each product was opened by hand (Aug 2026), fields recorded as found on the listing and inside the download. No values are estimated; empty cells mean "not shown by the seller".
