Trust score & platform standing
Trust score measures reliability, not coding skill — and it's one of the three access gates.
What it measures
It captures how dependable you are to work with: do you finish, do you hit deadlines, do clients rate you well. It can't be self-reported — it's computed from your actual history.
Factors
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Task completion rate | Strong positive |
| Deadline consistency | Positive |
| Average client rating | Positive |
| Fast first submission | Positive |
| AI review score consistency | Positive |
| Abandoning after activation | Strong negative |
| Repeated revision requests | Negative |
Note
A high trust score unlocks more than access — at LVL 15 with Trust ≥ 90% you become eligible for the reviewer pathway, and high-level developers get fast-tracked dispute resolution. See refunds & disputes.
