세상을 바꾼 100개의 제품

실제로 팔렸고 실제로 대규모로 쓰인 상업 제품만 수록한다. 평가 대상은 제품 그 자체——회사의 시가총액도, 창업자의 신화도 아니다. 6개 지표 채점과 OVR 종합 점수로 순위를 매기고, 본편이 하나씩 리스트를 밝혀 간다.

채점 방식

각 지표는 0–99점, 가중 평균으로 OVR을 산출(독창성 20% · 규모 20% · 영향 15% · 경험 15% · 비즈니스 15% · 지속 15%)하고 OVR 내림차순으로 순위를 정한다. 인물 랭킹과 가장 다른 점은 「지속」이다. 제품은 죽는다. 죽은 제품은 이 지표에서 높은 점수를 받을 수 없다——Model T도 워크맨도 패미컴도 그래서 순위가 내려갔고, 이는 의도한 설계다. 모든 채점은 Anthropic의 AI 모델 Claude가 수행한다: doaipm이 기준과 규칙을 정하고 Claude가 독립적으로 채점한다. 반론은 환영.

바퀴는 채점하지 않는다. 회사도 브랜드도 가격도 없고 공을 돌릴 사람도 없기 때문이다. 이건 하나의 알림이다——제품의 역사는 비즈니스의 역사보다 훨씬 길다. 이 목록은 「누군가 그것으로 장사를 시작한 날」부터 센다.
