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. Hootsuite is named in these steps:
- Social posts, step 4 of 6, when at least $90 is left for it: Standard ($99/mo billed yearly); the step also names Buffer, Metricool, SocialBee, ContentStudio, Predis.ai, Later and Sprout Social, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
