RANKING METHOD

Evidence before effort.

01

Funding

Prefer an independently verifiable, unspent prize over screenshots and organizer claims.

02

Boundedness

Reward clue systems that reduce uncertainty before they invite candidate generation.

03

Access

Penalize paywalls, missing artifacts, physical dependencies and unpublished rounds.

04

Stop rules

Every recommended target needs a point where further work is no longer justified.
