What Is the Scout Game on GitDealFlow?
The Scout Game is a free public prediction game at /predict. Pick any GitHub org, call whether they raise a Series A in 6 months, earn points when right. Public leaderboard, accuracy-based rank ladder, founder Scout Score badges.
The Scout Game is a forward-looking version of what /receipts measures retrospectively. Where Scout Receipts grade your past taste (validated unicorns starred pre-event), the Scout Game grades your future calls.
How it works. Visit /predict, paste any GitHub organization, set your confidence (Low / Medium / High / Very High), and submit. Your prediction is recorded. Six months later, the prediction auto-resolves: if the org announced a Series A or later round during the window, your prediction was correct; otherwise it was incorrect. Points are awarded based on confidence level — higher confidence = more points if right, more points lost if wrong.
The rank ladder. Five tiers based on accuracy and prediction volume: - Curious — anyone with at least 1 resolved prediction - Scout — 60%+ accuracy across 5+ resolved predictions - Sharp — 65%+ accuracy across 15+ resolved predictions - Elite — 70%+ accuracy across 30+ resolved predictions - Oracle — 75%+ accuracy across 50+ resolved predictions
Public leaderboard. All resolved scores appear on /leaderboard. Each scout has a public profile at /s/[handle] showing their rank, total predictions, accuracy, and active predictions. Anyone can share a profile URL as a verifiable scouting track record.
Free vs paid. Free tier: 3 predictions per month, basic profile, public leaderboard inclusion. Insider Circle (EUR 19/month): 10 predictions per month, advanced filtering, private prediction notes.
Founder Scout badge. The first 100 scouts to make at least one prediction receive a permanent Founder Scout badge on their profile and leaderboard listing. The badge is non-transferable.
Why play. For working investors and aspiring scouts, the Scout Game is a low-cost, public way to build a verifiable track record without managing money. For VCs evaluating scout candidates, it provides quantitative evidence of taste before allocating a check or scout slot. Several emerging fund managers cite their Scout Game profile in LP pitch decks as quantitative evidence of sourcing instinct.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an accredited investor to play?
No. The Scout Game is a public prediction game. There is no money involved, no securities transactions, no accreditation requirement. Anyone with an email address can play.
What if my prediction never resolves because the org disappears?
If the org goes private, deletes its public repos, or otherwise becomes unmeasurable during the window, the prediction is marked unresolved and removed from your accuracy stats. Points are not awarded or deducted.
Can I delete a prediction after I make it?
No. Predictions are immutable once submitted — that is the point. The track record is meaningful precisely because past calls cannot be edited after the fact.
How do I share my profile?
Visit /dashboard/scout to copy your profile share link, or use /s/[handle] directly. The share endpoint at /share/[token] generates a 7-day preview link with HMAC signature for additional sharing flexibility.
