What does Playable mean on EmuRank?

What is the PlayStation 4 catalog on this page?

What compatibility levels does EmuRank use?
EmuRank uses six compatibility levels: Perfect, Playable, Ingame, Intro, Loadable, and Nothing. Emulator detail pages treat Perfect and Playable as playable games. Everything below that should be read as a caution state rather than a full recommendation.
How does EmuRank measure confidence?
Confidence on emulator pages measures breadth of evidence, not popularity. It is driven mainly by tested coverage: how much of the full PlayStation 4 catalog has emulator-specific results on EmuRank. A small tested slice can still look promising, but it stays lower confidence until coverage broadens.
How should I check whether my game will work?
Use the game page as the final compatibility check. Emulator pages summarize platform-level evidence, but real results can still vary by game, emulator version, device, operating system, and settings. If you are new to emulation, read the recent reports together with the Compatibility Levels guide before deciding.
