Understanding Your Ranked Stack
After a Smart Match session, you receive a ranked stack of tools. This article explains what it means and how to use it.
What Is the Ranked Stack?
The ranked stack is an ordered list of AI tools that fit your situation. Tools are sorted by fit score — higher scores mean better alignment with your context (use case, budget, role, team size).
Fit Score
Each tool has a fit score (e.g., 85%). This reflects how well the tool matches your inputs. It is not a quality rating of the tool in general; it is a match score for your specific context.
Order Matters
The first tool is the best fit for your situation. The rest are alternatives, often with slightly different trade-offs. You can add any of them to My Stack and compare.
Why This Matters
Other platforms rank tools by affiliate payouts. Hokai ranks by fit to your context. The same tool can rank #1 for one person and #5 for another, depending on their needs.
