# Methodology

!!! abstract "How Nubenetes V2 classifies and ranks resources"
    The reference legends below explain the maturity tags and the technical impact (star) scores applied to every resource in the portal.

## The Maturity Taxonomy

To ensure industrial-grade precision, every resource in V2 is classified using our proprietary 5-tier maturity system:

| Tag | Description | Engineering Context |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| <a href="./tags/#de-facto-standard"><span class="md-tag md-tag--success">[DE FACTO STANDARD]</span></a> | The industry baseline. | Tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, or Prometheus that define the current architecture. |
| <a href="./tags/#enterprise-stable"><span class="md-tag md-tag--success">[ENTERPRISE-STABLE]</span></a> | Battle-tested and reliable. | Proven solutions with strong community and commercial support. |
| <a href="./tags/#emerging"><span class="md-tag md-tag--warning">[EMERGING]</span></a> | The cutting edge. | High-potential tools and patterns (e.g., AI Agents, MCP) shaping the future. |
| <a href="./tags/#guide"><span class="md-tag md-tag--secondary">[GUIDE]</span></a> | Strategic knowledge. | High-quality tutorials, architectural deep-dives, and decision matrices. |
| <a href="./tags/#case-study"><span class="md-tag md-tag--secondary">[CASE STUDY]</span></a> | Real-world evidence. | Practical implementations and architectural lessons from production environments. |
| <a href="./tags/#community-tool"><span class="md-tag md-tag--info">[COMMUNITY-TOOL]</span></a> | Open-source ecosystem. | Valuable community-driven tools that enrich the ecosystem but may not have enterprise-grade support. |
| <a href="./tags/#legacy"><span class="md-tag md-tag--critical">[LEGACY]</span></a> | Historical context. | Established tools that are being replaced or are primarily for maintaining older stacks. |
| <a href="./tags/#spanish-content"><span class="md-tag md-tag--warning">[SPANISH CONTENT]</span></a> | Localized knowledge. | Resources in Spanish preserved for native speakers while indexed in English (Mandate 10). |

## Technical Impact (Relevance Score)

The stars accompanying each resource represent its **Technical Impact** and **Architectural Relevance** for a 2026 Senior Architect:

| Impact | Level | Meaning | Visual Code |
| :---: | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | **Platinum Standard** | Critical industry foundation. Essential knowledge for any Cloud Native architecture. | `==[Highlighted Link]==` |
| 🌟🌟🌟🌟 | **Gold Standard** | Highly recommended. Proven value and significant community/enterprise momentum. | `**[Bold Link]**` |
| 🌟🌟🌟 | **Silver Standard** | Solid technical reference. Useful for specific use cases or established patterns. | Standard Link |
| 🌟🌟 | **Bronze Standard** | Interesting alternative or niche tool. Good to have in the toolkit for specific scenarios. | Standard Link |
| 🌟 | **Reference Only** | Basic documentation or historical reference without major current impact. | Standard Link |
