How the platform works

MVP today: publish a pitch, open a rating window, share your HP code.

  1. Build your pitch page

    Use Studio to draft sections — problem, proof, offer, disclosures. Tune copy and media until the page explains why anyone should care.

  2. Publish to a permanent URL

    Your pitch lives at /p/{hp-code}/{slug}/. One asset you refine instead of re-performing in every thread.

  3. Open a rating window

    Invite critics for a time-boxed window. HonestScore aggregates their scores on the record — no secret feed algorithm.

  4. Send traffic wherever you already hunt

    QR codes, links, HP code in posts. Outreach still changes per channel; the pitch stays the same strong close.

No secret algorithm

The HonestScore is the audience's call—not ours. Six public dimensions, open-source formula, time-boxed rating windows. We can't bury you with a feed algorithm or hide a bad score.

Skeptics: full mechanics on HP-opening (expand “Trust & mechanics”). Policy + formula ship before live votes.
