Release cadence

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Sends an e-mail saying that there’s an update available for every single one of our website’s installed plugins, including k-OutDated Checker (k-OC) itself. There are currently NO updates available for ANY of our website’s installed plugins. In summary: this plugin cannot correctly determine whether *itself* is up to date. Uninstalling.
