    "description": "<p>An open editorial dataset of 170 indie SaaS marketing analyses. Every row is a re-projection of a published page on <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com\">unlocksaas.com</a> and carries a dated <code>last_verified</code> field.</p>\n<p>Five tables, each a structured re-projection of a public marketing-analysis surface on the canonical site:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Funnel teardowns</strong>: 33 rows, 27 columns. <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com/dataset/tables/funnel-teardowns.csv\">funnel-teardowns.csv</a></li>\n<li><strong>Pricing teardowns</strong>: 31 rows, 29 columns. <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com/dataset/tables/pricing-teardowns.csv\">pricing-teardowns.csv</a></li>\n<li><strong>Head-to-head comparisons</strong>: 61 rows, 22 columns. <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com/dataset/tables/comparisons.csv\">comparisons.csv</a></li>\n<li><strong>Named-competitor alternatives</strong>: 32 rows, 17 columns. <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com/dataset/tables/alternatives.csv\">alternatives.csv</a></li>\n<li><strong>Category buckets</strong>: 13 rows, 8 columns. <a href=\"https://unlocksaas.com/dataset/tables/categories.csv\">categories.csv</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Methodology.</strong> Editorial corpus. Every row is a re-projection of a published page on unlocksaas.com. Each source page is authored by the founder, dated with an ISO lastVerified field, and reviewed against the public editorial policy at https://unlocksaas.com/editorial-policy before publication. No scraping, no inferred metrics, no fabricated review counts. Corrections are logged publicly in the editorial-policy corrections log.</p>\n<p><strong>License.</strong> Released under the <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY-4.0)</a>.

    "notes": "Version cadence: SemVer. Additive changes (new optional columns, new catalog entries) bump patch; renames or type changes bump minor; removals bump major. Consumers should branch on the major.\n\nFreshness: lastVerified 2026-07-18. Next editorial review 2026-10-16. Verified rows ship with their per-row lastVerified date unchanged from the source page.\n\nCanonical-drift discipline: this Zenodo deposit is a re-projection of the canonical dataset published at https://unlocksaas.com/dataset. Both surfaces are built from the same TypeScript module, so a row that ships here also ships on the canonical site at the same version. The DOI minted by Zenodo on publication is the persistent identifier; the canonical URL is the rolling-latest mirror.\n\nProvenance: every row links back to its source page via the canonical URL pattern declared in the JSON bundle's \"schema\" block. Editorial standards (sourcing, dating, corrections, no fabricated metrics) are documented at https://unlocksaas.com/editorial-policy.",
