Your score is a number from 0 to 100, displayed as a letter grade D / C / B / A / A+. It's built from five factors:
- Track Record (35%) — total verified jobs, earnings, and hours, log-scaled. Rating quality is folded in as a multiplier so platforms where you're rated higher pull more weight.
- Recency (25%) — recent work counts more. Active freelancers score higher than ones coasting on historical work.
- Claimant Credibility (20%) — how confident we are you're really you. Stripe Identity, LinkedIn OAuth, GitHub OAuth, and extension-proved platform ownership all feed this.
- Platform Credibility (15%) — your highest-tier badge across every platform (Upwork Top Rated Plus, Fiverr Top Rated Seller, Toptal Top 3%, etc.).
- Skills (5%) — passed skill quizzes. Capped at 5 points.
