Methodology and citation
- Counts are calculated directly from the public GPTNavi workflow, stack, and tool catalog at build time.
- A tool mention means the tool appears in a workflow's declared toolsUsed field; it is not a market-share measure or endorsement.
- Tool-pair counts measure co-occurrence within the same workflow.
- Estimated setup-time median converts stated hour ranges to their midpoint and should be read as directional.
