Proof score
The 0–100 score next to every result, and what each number actually means.
What the score is
The proof score is a confidence rating on your pool entry — not the verdict. The verdict is binary: made it or missed. The score tells you how clean the proof was that got you there.
Two people can both make it in the same pool with very different scores. You hit 26 of 31 days with all GPS-verified outdoor runs and no flags — you made it at a score of 98. Your training partner also hits 26 days, but three of their activities were flagged for suspicious pace — they made it at a score of 78. Same outcome, same pool share, but the system signals that your proof was cleaner. A high score means the win was unambiguous. A lower score means the system had concerns it resolved in your favor, but they were still concerns.
How to read it
The score falls into four brackets, each with different consequences for payout:
-
95–100 — Clean
Auto-settles. No flags.
-
85–94 — Minor flags
Auto-settles. Late syncs, borderline pace.
-
70–84 — Review required
Mandatory review before payout.
-
Below 70 — Reject + dispute likely
Hard hold. Often disputed.
What raises and lowers it
The score starts at 100 and gets reduced by the quality of the activities in your proof trail:
- Synced activities with clean GPS lower it very little or not at all
- Late syncs (close to or past the grace window) lower it modestly
- Flagged activities (suspicious pace, low GPS quality) lower it more
- Rejected activities (manual, edited after upload) lower it most

When the score gates payout
A score below 85 on a high-stakes entry triggers a mandatory review before the main-pool payout AND before any side-bet market on that entry resolves. This is not a dispute — the system is holding borderline results until a human signs off before any money moves. The review can add hours or, in busy periods, up to a day on top of the normal settlement timeline. Once a reviewer confirms the result, payout proceeds normally; if they surface a new problem, a dispute may follow.
