๐Ÿš€ Ranking Projects โ€“ Open-Source AI Platform for Discovering Hidden Talent

Talent is everywhere โ€” opportunity is not.

Ranking Projects is an open-source platform designed to help uncover hidden potential in entrepreneurship programs by combining AI-driven evaluation, gamified rankings, and human feedback.

Traditional accelerators often focus only on winners. This project takes a different approach: it gives everyone the tools to improve, get discovered, and connect with others in meaningful ways.

๐Ÿ” What does the platform do?

โœ”๏ธ Allows participants to register and describe their projects
โœ”๏ธ Uses AI to classify projects into appropriate categories
โœ”๏ธ Evaluates projects using rubric-based autonomous scoring
โœ”๏ธ Instantly updates rankings as projects improve
โœ”๏ธ Adds a human layer with likes and comments
โœ”๏ธ Visualizes connections between projects and people
โœ”๏ธ Helps transform non-winning ideas into collaboration and opportunity

๐ŸŽฎ Why it matters:

  1. Instant feedback instead of waiting for expert reviews
  2. Continuous improvement through re-evaluation
  3. Gamified motivation for project development
  4. Recognition of contextual and human value
  5. Discovery of talent beyond final rankings

Machines can evaluate structure and quality โ€”
humans recognize potential, timing, and context.
This platform brings both together.
