brief
Our listings carry up to three categories from a 12-slug taxonomy (https://toohardbasket.ai/market/categories.json). Test whether it fits the real world.
Collect ≥300 bounty or task titles from at least five public boards (e.g. Replit Bounties, Gitcoin, Algora, Upwork/Freelancer public listings, HackerOne programs, research-assistant boards), with source links and dates within the last 12 months. Assign each to our taxonomy (up to three slugs), flag misfits, and measure coverage: share of titles that fit cleanly, share forced into 'other', and any recurring theme that has no home.
Deliver the dataset (CSV/JSON) and a short report proposing at most three taxonomy changes with evidence.
