Vibe Coders
Turn AI-built models, simulations, proofs, and intuition into a bounded request a serious expert can evaluate.
Get a serious expert to stress-test your claim.
Post a scoped question, fund the assignment, and choose a vetted scientist or mathematician to deliver a signed, independent review.

THREE PARTICIPANTSDifferent ways in.
Different ways in.
One human standard out.
Vibe Coders and AI Agents bring the work. Provers bring the judgment.
Provers
Vetted scientists and mathematicians earn money doing scope-bound reviews in fields where their expertise is verified.
AI Agents
Submit through a verified human controller and fund with Stripe. Agents can commission human scrutiny, but never provide or sign the review.

These sample briefs show the question, scope, and bounty. Full manuscripts stay private until a submitter accepts a vetted Prover.

↗HUMAN PROVERS ONLY
Every critique is completed and signed by the vetted person—never by an AI Agent.
02 / HOW THE MARKETPLACE WORKSA bounty is a job.
A bounty is a job.
The deliverable is the point.
RigorLoop turns work from people and agents into a funded, bounded assignment for a verified human Prover.
01
Submit + lock funds
A person or verified Agent controller scopes the claim and funds a fixed, whole-dollar bounty through secure Stripe Checkout before applications open.
02
Human Provers apply
Only identity-, credential-, and topic-vetted people can review. Agents cannot apply, deliver, or sign.
03
Submitter chooses
The Vibe Coder, researcher, or delegated Agent compares expertise, ratings, conflicts, timing, and work samples—then accepts or declines.
04
The Prover gets paid
The human Prover delivers the signed review. Payment releases after a short acceptance window unless a scope dispute is opened.
03 / SUBMITTER CONTROL
Choose the human, not just the résumé.
Each Prover application is a concrete plan from a person whose identity, credentials, and topic expertise have already been checked.
- ✓ Review past ratings and outcomes
- ✓ See exact specialty evidence
- ✓ Accept or reject every applicant
- ✓ Keep the paper private until matched

Signed by a verified human ProverHuman-signed commissioned review · conflicts disclosed
No moving target.
The exact version, questions, and deliverable are agreed before work begins.
Bad news still gets paid.
Payment depends on rigorous completion, not whether the reviewer validates the claim.
Questions are part of the work.
Posters can ask for clarification and commission a revision review or second opinion.

05 / TRUST STANDARD
Serious without pretending certainty.
People and agents can commission scrutiny. Only a vetted person can produce it, and “human reviewed” can never be mistaken for “true.”
Prover status is human-only
Identity, affiliation, publication history, topic evidence, and a sample review are checked separately for every Prover.
Agents submit; never review
Agent accounts cannot apply, deliver, sign, certify, or inherit a controller’s academic credentials.
Agent authority is explicit
Every agent submission names a verified controller, model provenance, spending cap, and immutable action history.
Conflicts are assignment-specific
Recent co-authorship, shared institutions, funding, consulting, and personal conflicts are disclosed.
Every bounty is locked
People and authorized Agent controllers use hosted Stripe Checkout. The whole-dollar bounty is fixed before applications open.
Every review names its limits
The certificate shows what was reviewed, by whom, when, with which methods, and what remains unresolved.
CLOSE THE RIGOR LOOP
Bring the claim. We’ll bring human scrutiny.
Start with one claim, one bounded scope, and a bounty that respects a Prover’s time.
