> whose stack and availability match it. you decide whether to quote.

sealed · you never see other builders' bids · buyer signs off before payout · no listing fees

/* example · what you receive → what you send back */

invite.md — what you receive
---
job:    j_3f12
title:  crm export → csv, nightly
stack:  [ts, next, supabase]
budget: < $3000
eta:    ~5d
bid_by: 2026-04-20T18:00Z

nightly cron pulls from supabase, drops a csv
in an s3 bucket. webhook on failure.

out of scope: a ui, historical backfill > 90d.

bid:     b_1f09
job:     j_3f12
price:   $2,400
eta:     6d

assumes:
  - scheduled github action + s3 upload
  - one round of qa review included

excludes:
  - non-s3 destinations
  - backfill > 90d (already out of scope)

sealed. other builders won't see this.
bid via bidflock bid j_3f12 --price 2400 --eta 6d · or drop a bid.md file in and let cc fill it.

/* principles · what we promise builders */

[ 01 ]
// matched software projects

when a project matches your stack and availability, we may route it to you. no cold proposals or discovery calls. job volume is not guaranteed.

[ 02 ]
// sealed bids

you price against the spec, not a visible price anchor. bidflock never shows you competing offers while bidding is open. no race to the bottom.

[ 03 ]
// outcome-priced

quote one fixed price with eta, assumptions and exclusions. no hourly sheets. if your tools help you deliver faster, the upside is yours.

[ 04 ]
// pseudonymous portfolio

you bid as bldr_**** on the public ledger. real identity stays with us. portfolio mention on delivery is allowed (title + stack + date) unless the buyer opts out.
