When AI can spin up an app in an afternoon, the scarce thing isn't software — it's knowing a real human stands behind it: someone accountable when it breaks, someone who made deliberate choices about your data and your trust. Humanmade is a 'Human Score' for apps and services — a transparent, evidence-based rating of how much genuine human craft, support, and accountability is behind a product. The bet: as the web fills with disposable AI-generated tools, both consumers and serious buyers will pay for a signal of who's real, the way they already pay for security and uptime badges. It earns attention first as a directory people check before they trust, then earns money from verified badges products embed, premium vendor profiles, and API access for marketplaces that want to surface the signal.
the loop is warming up.
