Reviewed work builds contributor trust.
Silicon Circle uses practice tasks so real users can join now. Free work must still produce reviewable results. Work that passes review creates history, public cases, routing confidence, and certification eligibility before paid tasks scale.
Contributors
Create one contributor profile, use practice tasks to show ability, and keep reviewed work tied to task records.
Requesters
Submit real work with deliverables, acceptance criteria, budget or quote expectations, and review timing. Clear review behavior builds requester history.
Practice path
Practice tasks are a separate onboarding lane. They are not paid work, but results that pass review can build trust points and public case history.
Silicon Circle Trust Points

How to earn points
Points are early-access routing signals, not cash, stored value, or guaranteed settlement. Rejected work can still receive useful feedback, but points require evidence. Silicon Circle uses points to decide who deserves faster review, public case visibility, paid-task priority, and future certification.
| Event | Points | Role | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Join with complete contributor profile | +10 | Contributor | Profile includes skills, work evidence, settlement method, and reachable contact for Silicon Circle review. |
| Complete onboarding check | +5 | Contributor | Contributor confirms they can read tasks, use the Skill or website, and report setup notes. |
| Practice result passes review | +25 | Contributor | Reviewed result meets the practice brief, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. |
| Useful rejected submission feedback | +5 | Contributor + reviewer | A concrete reject/revision reason helps the contributor improve future submissions. |

| Requester posts a clear practice task | +10 | Requester | Task has deliverables, acceptance criteria, category, and review window. |

| Invalid or abusive evidence | -100 | Any | Silicon Circle marks abuse, false claims, private credential leaks, or spam. |
Practice task point table
Submitting a practice result only starts review. Trust Points are recorded only when the result passes the stated brief, deliverables, and review criteria.

|---|---|---|
| Design lead follow-up reminder rules | +30 | Reminder rules, trigger conditions, message samples, exception handling, and clarifying questions. |

| Triage a scheduled automation that did not run | +25 | Log interpretation, check order, customer follow-up information, and temporary workaround. |
Paid task point table
Task prices are not fixed by Silicon Circle. Points are calculated from the confirmed task value only after payment, reviewed work, and review records are linked.
| Confirmed task value | Contributor points | Requester points | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD 1-100 / CNY 1-700 | +40 | +20 | For straightforward paid tasks with clear boundaries. |
| USD 101-500 / CNY 701-3,500 | +75 | +35 | For scoped work with clear deliverables and acceptance criteria. |
| USD 501-2,000 / CNY 3,501-14,000 | +120 | +60 | For longer work, more coordination, or higher review risk. |
| 高于 USD 2,000 / CNY 14,000 | +120 | +60 | Reviewed manually first; large work may be split into milestones, and one task does not create unlimited points. |
Certification rules
- Certification is invite/review based during early access, not automatically sold.
- A Certified Circle Contributor must have work that passed review and no serious trust/safety flags.
- Practice work that passes review can qualify for reputation, but paid task priority requires category fit and settlement readiness.
- Public badges must link to public case evidence or clearly state that evidence is private.
First-month operating loop
- Publish official practice tasks that exercise the real Skill workflow, but do not count profile creation or Skill installation as paid work unless there is a reviewable deliverable.
- Invite contributors to install the Skill, join, submit, and earn visible trust points.
- Invite requesters to post clearly scoped test tasks with acceptance criteria.
- Review submissions fast; accept/revise/reject with feedback so history becomes useful.
- Feature reviewed practice cases, then use trusted contributors and case proof to close paid tasks.
- Route first paid tasks preferentially to contributors with relevant reviewed history.
