How DeepRank Works

From raw concept to authentic public attention data: understand how the Today and Overall listings operate.

01

Submit Your Project

Enter your product name, a crisp one-line pitch, and optional builder or AI tool metadata.

02

Add a Public HTTPS URL

Use any legitimate live deployment. A custom domain is never required—youridea.vercel.app, Netlify, or Railway links work seamlessly.

03

Choose Stage & Category

Select your project stage (Idea, MVP, Project, or Live Product) and relevant category (AI, SaaS, Education, Developer, etc.) to target relevant attention.

04

Appear on the Public Board (Today & Overall)

Your project is positioned on the live board: Ranked placement is determined strictly by verified active USD bid, while Report-Only placement is determined strictly by Product Score.

05

Public Discovery

Real founders, operators, and developers browse the board, scanning pitches and evaluating emerging concepts.

06

Legitimate Impressions Recorded

When genuine visitors view the board, impressions are tracked server-side and deduplicated to eliminate repeat-refresh noise.

07

Verified Outbound Clicks

Curious visitors click through to your project via /go/[id]. Bot crawlers, scrapers, and rapid repeated clicks are suppressed so every count reflects authentic human intent.

08

Evaluate Your Attention Signal

Inspect your public Click-Through Rate (CTR) and visitor signals to decide whether to pivot, iterate your pitch, or double down on building.

Attention Signal vs. Validation

Receiving high clicks and a healthy CTR indicates strong surface interest and an engaging pitch. However, outbound clicks do not automatically imply that customers will pay, retain, or adopt your product. Use this data as an early compass, not as final proof of product-market fit.
