RosterProof — Reputation Passport for Fractional Work

Help part-time professionals replace verbal promises with verifiable work records

Problem

A developer publicly vented that 'fractional is just a racket,' saying they had done part-time work for 25 years before someone rebranded it, and that the space is full of opaque promises, vague responsibilities, and hard-to-verify outcomes. Meanwhile, a burned-out SWE asked what legitimate part-time work even looks like outside of coding. Both sides lack a credible record of actual contribution, client feedback, and delivery cadence.

Solution

A lightweight reputation profile for fractional and contract professionals: record project timelines, deliverables, client ratings, and optional automated evidence such as repository commits or public links, then generate a shareable profile page. It does not matchmake; it lets part-timers prove themselves with facts instead of self-description.

Users

Developers, designers, and marketing consultants doing fractional or part-time work, plus small business owners who need to quickly assess external collaborators.

MVP

Create a profile and log project history; invite clients to leave structured ratings and short reviews; optionally link GitHub or websites as delivery evidence; generate a clean shareable page; basic timeline and rating summary view.

Revenue

Free profile creation; subscription unlocks custom domains, more client invite credits, and PDF export.

Why now

Fractional work is being heavily packaged and abused, and the trust gap is widening. At the same time, burned-out developers are looking beyond traditional employment, so a lightweight reputation layer can launch in weeks and cold-start through niche communities.
