Launch dataset
Sources
Sources: Agentic Paycheck launch dataset (accessed Oct 15, 2026)
Notes on method
- Every figure is quoted exactly as the source states it. Where data was missing, the field says "unknown".
- All A grades are now checked against primary proof (Oct 15, 2026).
- 13 TrustMRR pages were opened directly. Each shows "verified with Stripe API key" with a last update of Oct 15, 2026.
- The figures were updated to the current TrustMRR numbers. All 13 checks passed, so no A grade was downgraded.
- The hackathon prize was checked against the XPRIZE press release and the Devpost winners post. The unchecked TRAMA $50k figure was removed.
- Job and gig rates come from the employer's or platform's own published postings.
- Made With Models (madewithmodels.com) was used only to find leads. It is a direct competitor: a "receipts" site with evidence labels.
- Its remaining B and C entries still cite it, using its "Documented" and "Maker claim" labels. These have NOT been checked against primary proof.
- A post on X starts at grade C (self-reported). It stays there unless a person records independent proof and upgrades the grade. Hype still lands on D. Reddit posts are graded from the write-up; this launch set has none.
- Grade D entries are kept on purpose, as scam-watch content.
agentusecases.ai subscriber figure
- Not verifiable. The sponsor page shows "73,220 Daily 5 email subscribers" and "18,305 visits in the last 4 days" (https://agentusecases.ai/sponsor).
- No independent source (press, Similarweb-type data, or a newsletter platform listing) was found. Treat it as self-reported.
