First pass
The sweet spot
Begin with small and midsized accounts. Their audiences are a free, noisy signal that an existing algorithm found something—but not proof, and not fame large enough to make discovery redundant.
We look for difficult work that résumés miss—then give people a direct way to prove what they can do.
Underplaced searches public and candidate-supplied artifacts, keeps humans in every consequential review, and separates discovery from hiring. No résumé pedigree is allowed to substitute for the work.
Underplaced searches from conventional public proof to unconventional indicators of intelligence.

Popularity is never a floor. A 60-follower reply account, obscure forum writer, or tiny game server may contain the strongest evidence. The crawler must search past self-promotion skill.
Apply directly, use an assisted intake, or be nominated. Public self-promotion is not a prerequisite for the same assessment route.
Spend three questions to diagnose a failing repair line, then review your response against an inspectable rubric.
Choose your strongest kind of work and build a private assessment route plus candidate-controlled passport preview.
Describe the outcome a role must own and generate a proof-of-work blueprint with a built-in pedigree firewall.

Prototype status: Underplaced is a research project, not an operating hiring service. The challenge and route builder run only in your browser. They do not upload answers, identify you, or make a hiring decision. Public evidence can prompt a closer look, but only voluntary participation can move the process forward.
