What are your thoughts on the brand new Discovery Scores on Contra? 👀
From a data analyst's perspective, creating the Discovery Score involved diving deep into understanding the key indicators that genuinely reflect an Independent's reliability, expertise and contribution. The primary goal was to distill a complex set of metrics into an intuitive, fair and actionable score that serves both Independents and Clients. This felt like a daunting task but by leveraging the right data to empower decisions and incorporating constant feedback from stakeholders, we have been able to put together the Discovery Score.
I am excited to see how this supports Independents' journeys on Contra and helps them build a stronger profile and connection within the community. Drop your feedback on Discovery Scores in the replies 👇

I think the discovery score feature is great. Having a platform that actually helps you in building a better profile and shows you what you can do to improve is really a game changer 🔥

@Angad Singh New to the site but not freelancing, as a freelancer that has made 80k+ last year on another site that is getting very disappointing, by comparison I like it. I do have a question though, is the discovery score what decides who ranks highest on the listing for a key search?...

@Ezediniru Daniel @Angad Singh well not really but I added some service and products and my score boosted. Still looking to add more quality projects and getting reviews as well.

@Angad Singh I love the discovery score, but it looks like access to community is a big part of this score. With the community in beta and kind of closed to new people, there's only so much they can do to grow.
