How Scoring Works

Your GTM Commit Score (0-1,000) measures verified proof-of-work with AI tools. The algorithm is weighted by verification level — auto-verified proof from GitHub counts the most. Self-reported claims count the least. That's the point.

Auto-Verified

700

max points

Detected automatically from GitHub, deployments, and recognized certifications. Unfakeable.

Community Verified

200

max points

Portfolio items, videos, content, and uploads that have been vouched by 2+ other builders.

Self-Reported

100

max points

Unvouched portfolio items, tool declarations, and profile completeness. Lowest weight by design.

Auto-Verified Scoring (700 pts)

GitHub AI Commits

350 pts

We scan your commits for AI tool signatures across 18 tools. Volume follows a logarithmic curve (diminishing returns past ~100 commits), plus bonuses for repo diversity, tool variety, recency, and velocity.

  • -Detected tools: Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Devin, Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit Agent, v0.dev, Base44, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Gemini Code Assist, Cody, Pythagora, Same.dev, Firebase Studio
  • -Volume: logarithmic scale, rewarding consistent output over burst activity
  • -Repo diversity: commits across multiple repos score higher than one repo
  • -Tool diversity: using multiple AI tools scores higher than one tool
  • -Recency: commits in the last 30 days get a recency bonus
  • -Velocity: 50+ AI commits in a month unlocks a velocity multiplier

Code Impact

60 pts

Total lines of code added and deleted across your AI-assisted commits. Logarithmic scale — shipping 10K+ lines demonstrates real output, not just config tweaks.

Private Repo Work

40 pts

Using AI tools on private repositories indicates professional usage — real company work, not just toy projects. The higher your private repo ratio, the higher this bonus.

  • -50%+ private commits: 40 pts (max)
  • -30%+ private: 30 pts
  • -10%+ private: 20 pts
  • -Any private commits: 10 pts

Platform Deployments

150 pts

Verified deployments on Vercel, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Clay, n8n, Make.com, and other platforms. Each verified deployment earns 30 pts, with a diversity bonus for shipping across multiple platforms.

Certifications

80 pts

Auto-verified certifications from recognized platforms: Clay University, Credly, OpenAI, HubSpot Academy, n8n, Make.com, and more. Points vary by issuer, deduplicated per platform.

Tool Diversity

80 pts

How many distinct AI tools you actively use, detected from commits, deployments, declarations, and uploaded config files. Using 5+ tools shows adaptability across the AI stack.

  • -7+ tools: 80 pts
  • -5+ tools: 60 pts
  • -3+ tools: 40 pts
  • -2+ tools: 20 pts

Consistency

50 pts

How many distinct months you have been active. Spreading your work over 6+ months proves sustained AI adoption, not a one-week experiment.

Shipping Streak

50 pts

Consecutive weeks of AI-assisted commits. Your current streak and longest streak both contribute. A 12+ week streak earns the maximum bonus.

Community Verified (200 pts)

Items that have received 2+ vouches from other GTM Commit members. To vouch, a member must have 50+ points, a 7-day-old account, and at least one verified proof source. Mutual vouches (A vouches B, B vouches A) are penalized at 50% value.

Vouch-Verified Certs

Self-Reported (100 pts)

Unverified claims and profile completeness. These have the lowest weight because anyone can add them without proof. Get your work vouched to move items to Tier 2.

Anti-Gaming Protections

We take score integrity seriously. The following protections prevent artificial inflation:

  • -Logarithmic scaling on all volume metrics — spamming commits has diminishing returns
  • -Blank template detection — deploying an unmodified starter template is rejected
  • -Deployment age gate — URLs must be live 24+ hours before verification
  • -Content hash deduplication — uploading the same file twice is blocked
  • -Vouch ring detection — mutual vouches (A↔B) are penalized at 50% value
  • -Throwaway account prevention — must have 50+ pts, 7-day account, and verified proof to vouch
  • -Company stacking cap — max 3 vouches from people at the same company
  • -Credential stripping — n8n workflow imports auto-remove API keys and secrets
  • -Weekly re-verification — verified URLs are re-checked to ensure they are still live

Privacy Commitment

We never store source code — only commit metadata (timestamp, diff stats, AI tool detection). Private repo names are never displayed publicly. We show “47 commits across 3 private repos,” not repo names or commit messages. Disconnect GitHub anytime and all commit data is deleted immediately.
