When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Grammarly is named in these steps:
- Writing polish, step 2 of 3, when less than $12 is left for it: the free plan; the step also names QuillBot, and the best score takes it.
- Writing polish, step 3 of 3, otherwise: Pro ($12/mo); the step also names ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and QuillBot, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
