ReallySolved · Your standing & your money
One counts everything you do here. The other is money. Tap ⓘ on either one.
An example contributor:
Why it is 2 numbers
If clicking paid, a script could click all day & get paid for it, & the answers people come here to trust would be worth less. So the click builds your track record, & your track record is what gets you offered the paid work. You still see the number move the second you tap. It just is not currency, so gaming it buys nothing.
| Track record | Earnings | |
|---|---|---|
| What it counts | Everything: 👍👎, solutions, corrections | Only solutions & corrections |
| When it moves | The moment you act | When we accept the work |
| Is it money? | No, & it never becomes money | Yes, shown in $ |
| What it gets you | Standing, rank, access, first call on paid work | Money |
The tier ladder · track record
Each tier is ~10× the last, a smooth ×10 climb. The steps below are drawn as equal visual jumps (a true-to-scale axis would shrink 100 next to 1,000,000 into nothing), labelled with the real thresholds.
Each step = ×10 the one before it. Equal visual steps, real numbers.
The climb
Real, blended paths, not a single grind. The bottom is fast & attainable; the top stays unfakeable, gated on real delivery & real payment.

|---|---|---|

| Solver Laureate1,000,000 | ~40 large / ~80 medium over a career, plus sustained R & S. The rare top-of-field capstone serious buyers seek first. | A career |
The points schedule · track record
Real delivery & real competence out-earn everyday activity by a wide margin, so volume alone never buys a high number. Daily caps apply where an action is cheap to repeat. None of this is money. What we pay for is in the next section.

The other number · earnings
We will not promise you a dollar amount up front. What you earn comes out of what a buyer actually pays for data your work ends up in: you get half of what we receive for it. Everything you do also builds your track record, & your track record is what gets you offered the paid work.
| What you did | Builds your track record | Can earn money |
|---|---|---|
| A solution we accepted | Yes | Yes, if it ends up in data we license |
| A correction we accepted | Yes | Yes, the same way |
| A 👍 or 👎 | Yes, the moment you tap | No. It is what qualifies you for the work that does |
There is no fixed price per item, & you are never paid twice for the same correction. There is 1 share: half of what we actually receive when data your work is part of gets licensed. The Terms carry the detail, including how the share can change & the rule that any change only ever applies to what you earn after it.
The honest part. Your track record moves the moment you act. Earnings only move when a buyer actually pays for data your work is part of, so they can sit still for a while, & some months there is nothing. No income is promised; earnings vary & are never guaranteed.
