KYD Self-Check™

How KYD™ Self‑Check Works

  1. Create Your Account
    Sign up securely to get started.

  2. Connect Your Developer Accounts
    Link the platforms you want us to review. We only use authorized, public contribution signals.

  3. Enter Payment Information or Promo Code
    Provide your payment details or apply a promo code before generating your report.

  4. Acknowledge Sanctions‑List Check
    Confirm your approval for us to search your name against publicly available U.S. sanctions lists as part of the assessment.

  5. Click “Generate Self‑Check Report”
    Start the process with a single click.

  6. Wait 15–20 Minutes
    Your reports are generated in the background—feel free to leave the page.

  7. Receive Two Reports

    • Private Report (not shareable): Includes insights and guidance to help you improve your score.

    • Sharable Report: A polished profile you can share with your network, your company, or recruiters.

Your Privacy

When you generate a KYD™ Self‑Check, you choose how to connect your accounts:

  • Developer platforms: We use secure OAuth connections. This gives us access only to authorized public contribution data—never private repositories, private messages, or identity documents.

  • Other platforms: You can provide public profile URLs. We review only the publicly visible information on those pages.

You stay in control at all times. Your KYD Self-Check™ report remains private unless you choose to share it, and you can disconnect or remove linked accounts whenever you like.

KYD Self-Check™ helps you, as a developer, instantly understand how your professional and technical reputation appears online, across numerous sources. By aggregating scattered trust signals from your various developer profiles, KYD™ creates a comprehensive, unified trust profile.

How to Interpret Your Results

Your KYD™ Score is a composite of activity, reputation signals, and compliance checks drawn only from the accounts you choose to connect.

  • Higher scores reflect strong, consistent contributions and clear transparency around your work.

  • Lower scores reflect limited activity, inconsistent profiles, or areas where clarity can be improved.

  • A match on a public sanctions list will result in a very low score and a flag in your private report.

Your private report includes specific suggestions on how to improve your score. As you grow your contributions or link additional accounts, you can regenerate your profile to reflect progress.
