TaskProof
A browser-first open-source tool for evaluating the true expected income of bounty tasks, converting task briefs into evidence checklists and computing a probability-weighted hourly rate.
Timeline (last 90 days)
TaskProof is a browser-first open-source experiment aimed at freelancers and people evaluating developer bounties, with features including turning a task brief into an evidence checklist, flagging clauses worth questioning, and calculating a hypothetical hourly return using assumptions entered by the user.
In TaskProof's built-in competitive bounty example, assuming a $500 prize, 7.5% platform fee, 8 hours of estimated build time, 15% win probability, and $0 upfront cost, the net prize if selected is $462.50, the probability-weighted expected net income is $69.38, and the hypothetical hourly rate is about $8.67/hour.
TaskProof's probability-weighted expected net income formula is "net prize × win probability", with a payoff of 0 when losing, and this number applies only to the long-run average of many repeated decisions, not to the actual amount received in a single instance.
TaskProof's prompts are merely phrase-based reminders rather than accusations of fraud; the author mentions an edge case from a regression test: the warning phrase "never send private keys" should not itself be treated as an instruction to send private keys.
TaskProof allows users to save their work as a Markdown evidence plan without creating an account.
TaskProof's optional AI component uses the FLAN-T5 Small model, running inside a browser Web Worker via Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime Web, and its role is limited to summarizing possible deliverables, asking one question for the buyer, and drafting one opening line.
TaskProof's AI model is not allowed to decide whether a prize exists, and its suggestions are explicitly labeled as requiring human verification; the first run downloads public model weights with no promise of offline availability before caching; if the AI component fails, the deterministic rules and economic calculator still run independently.
TaskProof keeps pasted task briefs local and does not send them to a hosted inference API, requiring no wallet connection, API key, backend upload, or registration.
The TaskProof repository contains unit tests for risk text, arithmetic, and input validation plus static site regression tests, and the author says that at the time of writing 24 tests passed using the Node test runner, and the public deployment site was checked in headless Chrome.
The "human-verified pre-check brief" service the author envisions might be priced at $19 for a one-time brief or $9 as a monthly tool, but it is not currently purchasable.
