Post one scoped software task. Three hand-picked builders send sealed, fixed-price quotes with ETA, assumptions, and exclusions. You authorize a card hold when you pick one; it is captured only after signoff.
Plain prose is fine. During the pilot, every job is reviewed before it goes to builders so vague scope gets tightened before bids arrive.
Hand-picked operators who already run Claude Code or Codex as part of their stack. You get three sealed, normalized quotes back: price, ETA, what they're assuming, what they're not doing.
The accepted bid plus buyer fee becomes a card hold. It is captured on completion, released on cancellation, and kept authorized during one rework round.
AI code generators are great at prototypes. They are not great at security, deployment, or edge cases. A bidflock builder can harden what you already have for a fixed price — no "it depends", no hourly guessing.
No names, no bid amounts across sellers. The ledger is public by design — you should be able to see the loop work before you post.
Hand-picked operators who already run Claude Code or Codex as part of their stack. Today the list is small and invite-only — that's deliberate.
If sellers see each other's bids, they optimize against each other. We want them optimizing against your spec. Sealed bids are non-negotiable.
You close the job and pay nothing. You can post a revised spec. There's no obligation to accept.
You request rework against the acceptance criteria, or you don't sign off. The card hold is captured only when you complete the job.
In the pilot, Bidflock uses Stripe card authorization and capture. We call it a card hold in the product; it is not a regulated escrow account.
The buyer fee is shown before you accept a bid. Current pilot default is 10% of the accepted bid, added to the card hold.
The public ledger shows titles, stacks, statuses, and total paid out. No PII. No bid amounts across sellers.
