Why it's listed

Typst is listed in writing & grammar tools because it competes on utility: modern latex alternative that compiles instantly. It's VC-backed — we note this openly and watch the monetization path; the license and self-host route are the safeguards. Licensed Apache-2.0 (compiler); pricing: free cli / paid web app. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
