What makes it exceptional
Ownership and outcome. Not "worked on a payments service" but "built the payments service that processed the first ₦400m — here is the repository, the architecture note, and the engineer who reviewed it."

What counts as evidencein your field
Evidence is not the same in every discipline. An engineer proves their work differently from a copywriter, and a salesperson differently again. Find your discipline. This is exactly what we look for.

EXCEPTIONAL
Strong evidence
A production system you built and can point to. Repositories with real commit history. A product with users. Architecture you designed and can explain. Scale or performance problems you solved, with the numbers.
68%
Weak evidence
Course certificates with no applied work. Tutorial clones. A skills list with nothing behind it.

You can still prove it.
Plenty of exceptional work sits under NDA. That does not disqualify you.
Describe scope and outcome without naming clients or exposing figures
Use ranges and percentages instead of exact numbers
Submit a reference who can confirm your contribution
Point to anything public your work touched, even indirectly
Include internal artefacts you are permitted to share — a redacted architecture note, a process you designed
Bring evidence instead.
Growwr has an experience-first path built into onboarding. Instead of degree history, you provide proof of your professional experience — work you have delivered, roles you have held, certifications you have earned with applied work behind them.
It is assessed on the same terms as every other profile. The bar does not move, and neither does it move against you.
You know what to submit. Go and submit it.
