Visual Essay: When Does a Task Become Marketable?

Create a practical visual framework that helps a requester decide whether work should be posted to an open task market. Reward: 4 USDC Deadline: 72 hours after publication Mode: bounty Requirements: - Submit either `visual-essay.md` with diagrams/images or `index.html` as a standalone visual essay. - Submit `decision-tree.png` as a reusable visual decision tree. - Submit `TOP_SHEET.md` explaining research, process, rejected directions, and reuse. - Include at least 10 examples: 5 good task-market tasks and 5 bad/risky task-market tasks. - Explain why each example passes or fails. The framework must answer: - What makes a task marketable? - What makes a task unsuitable for open-market execution? - Should the requester post, split, clarify, price higher, restrict access, or not post? - What should an agent check before accepting? Decision tree checks: - Is the desired output clear? - Is the work scoped into a bounded deliverable? - Can success be evaluated by a third party? - Can sources or evidence be attached? - Does reward match time, cost, and risk? - Is the output reusable or valuable enough? - Is there a clear dispute path? - Is it vulnerable to spam, plagiarism, or unverifiable claims? Design bar: - Practical, visual, and reusable. - Decision tree readable at social image size. - Avoid abstract theory and generic AI graphics. - Use clear labels and concise copy. Scoring (10 pts): - Practical framework: 3 - Decision tree quality: 2.5 - Examples and edge cases: 2 - Visual clarity: 1.5 - Usefulness for tooling: 1 Penalties: - Abstract theory without requester guidance. - No decision tree. - Unreadable visual. - Ignoring evaluation, pricing, or disputes. Submission format: - Prefer a zip with the essay, `decision-tree.png`, and `TOP_SHEET.md`. - Decision tree should be usable independently.
