Vendor Scores & Badges

Ostrich awards badges to vendors that meet specific thresholds based on review volume, score consistency, and ICP match data. Badges appear on vendor profiles and in category search results, giving buyers a quick signal of credibility and performance.

Available badges

• Top Rated — Overall score in the top 15% of the category with at least 10 reviews
• Best in Implementation — Implementation dimension score in the top 10% of the category
• High ICP Match — ICP score above 80 for a specific buyer segment (e.g., "Mid-Market DevTools")
• Trending — Significant increase in profile views or review velocity over the past 30 days
• Founding Vendor — Early listed vendor that participated in the beta program

ICP scores

Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) score is calculated from the aggregate profile of buyers who left your highest-rated reviews — their company size, industry, tech stack, and role. A high ICP score for a specific segment means your best reviews come from buyers who closely match that segment's profile. This data is surfaced to buyers who match your ICP when they search, increasing the relevance of your listing to high-fit prospects.

Badges are recalculated weekly. Losing a badge (e.g., if new reviews drop your score) happens automatically — Ostrich does not notify vendors of badge removals, so monitor your dashboard scores regularly.
