Why this Dragon Tiger shortlist stays at four

A category note from the India-facing Dragon Tiger prowl — dated diary, not a longer catalogue.

I cut the desk to four App Store cards so each passport got a full visual pass and a diary review. More rows would have thinned the evidence I was willing to stand behind.

18 October — sketched a longer pile

Early notes listed more tiger sims and runners than this site now shows. Several cards lacked a clear still, a readable update stamp, or any review pool worth quoting. I struck those before they reached the ranking block.

24 October — chose honesty over width

A Dragon Tiger shortlist that hides thin samples behind a perfect star wastes the reader's time. Keeping Tiger Run 3D in fourth place with the single-review warning mattered more than padding the page with quiet clones. No public install counter on the App Store card. We did not invent one for any of the four.

26 October — locked the length

Four felt enough for Method, Shortlist, and Ratings tabs without drowning the device-frame hero. What this note is not: a promise that four is the forever number. It is the length that fit the 28 October 2026 check and the dated diary voice of this prowl.

Where it stands now: the homepage still opens on four cards; briefs list the reviews first, then this length note.
