KitGrade: SaaS starter kits and what is measurably in the box

One row per graded SaaS starter kit: its stack, licence and pricing, the release and commit activity behind it, what its own documentation says ships in the box, and the evidence level the grade rests on.

How it is measured

Kits are graded from measured facts rather than from their own landing pages. A price is recorded from the page that states it, with the quote in price_evidence. evidence_level separates a kit somebody installed and ran from a kit somebody read about, because those are different claims and merging them is how starter-kit comparisons become useless.

What a citer needs to know

• price_unmeasurable is true where a kit publishes no price a machine can read. That is published as a finding rather than as a null.
• includes and price_points are JSON, kept whole so a reader can recompute a grade from the inputs.
