The figure on this entry is quoted as the source stated it: “$500,000 grand prize (Polyfork, Build with Gemini XPRIZE); Polyfork's catalogue earned $4,428 from 54 paying customers in its first month.” Attribution on file: XPRIZE Foundation press release.
Grade A means A payment-processor verification, a public record, or rates the payer published. Not a single social post. The verification note says: Primary proof checked (XPRIZE + Devpost winners post https://xprize.devpost.com/updates/44259-winners-are-live). Grade A kept. Removed TRAMA $50,000 figure: not checked against a primary source. That is someone else's result. It is not a forecast, and it is not an offer of the same income to you.
Ongoing cost on file: $0. Not disclosed by source: startup cost, hours per week.
Difficulty is 4 of 5. Time to first dollar: Competition window was 90 days (XPRIZE); prize paid only if you win. These describe the write-up, not a schedule we are assigning you.
Risks named for this entry: Winner-take-most; not recurring income.
Skills the write-up depends on: rapid prototyping, pitching.
Tools named in the source: Gemini, agent frameworks. A tool tag is not an endorsement, a price quote, or an affiliate offer.
Last verified Oct 15, 2026. A newer primary source is what keeps a grade A entry current. A retelling, a sponsor, or how appealing the idea sounds does not raise or protect the grade.
A tool link is a filter on this directory, not an endorsement or an affiliate offer.

Independently documented claims describe someone else's result, not a forecast for you. When a source did not give a cost, the entry says it was not disclosed. Sponsored placements, if any, are labeled and do not change evidence grades.
