Typical niche at that effort (median of niches) 25 / 100 / 400 devs Est. revenue: reviews × 30 × list price, one developer counted once Effort scale →
Bubble = developers releasing in the last period. Both axes: last 12 months vs the 12 months before, est. revenue relative to the whole catalog's change over the same split (so age bias cancels).
Grey = every niche at this filter (context: 0 of 0 lines). Colour = pinned (max 8). Hover a line to name it, click to pin. Top: est. revenue percentile by release cohort. Bottom: developers who released in that cohort (pinned only). Shaded cohorts are still earning.
