Summary

As researchers on the Bugcrowd platform, understanding performance metrics is crucial for growth and success in the Cybersecurity space. Researchers can earn Kudos/Points based on Priority levels of their submissions, with points awarded for valid, non-duplicate submissions. Accuracy is calculated by dividing valid vulnerabilities submitted over total submissions, while priority percentiles are determined by comparison to other researchers' submission volumes. Rank is calculated based on earned points compared to others, and earning private crowd invites requires meeting specific criteria such as four submissions, one accepted P1-P3 submission, and greater than 50% accuracy in the last 90 days. Researchers can use these metrics to compare their profiles, earn additional invitations, and participate in incentive programs and leaderboards. The Researcher Success team also reviews programs to find well-written submissions and professional interactions with customers, offering additional opportunities for researchers.
