Certified Problem Solver

CodersRank is a legitimate, established platform acquired by Gigster in 2023, verifying its real-world utility and value. External search confirms over 500,000 developer profiles and ~$1.5M in prior funding, significantly contradicting the low-effort submission claims ('most people', 'null revenue'). While the project itself demonstrates strong traction and utility in the niche developer recruitment market, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, resulting in penalties for response quality and traction evidence weighting.
