placed and waiting — not quiet ones

How big this market is, as its publishers state it

No market-size figure has been recorded for this level yet. Not read is not zero.

Forge measures none of this. A statistical body publishes the history and its own outlook; Forge copies the figures with the sentence each came from and refreshes once a year, when the publishers do. A growing market says you are not building into a headwind — it says nothing about whether this application has customers.

No publisher is named for this level yet, so there is nothing to read from. Publishers are authored in the taxonomy and arrive with a deploy.
