Abstract
A computerized method for evaluating human judges, products and services. An amount of currency for bidding and a corresponding plurality of items, with each item having a defined price, may be presented to a user. A bid for one or more of the plurality of items may be obtained. The one or more bids may each be compared with a defined price of the corresponding item. A score may be determined based on the one or more bids. Products, services, and search algorithms and techniques may be evaluated based on the bids, and search algorithms and techniques may be developed based on the bids. Human judges may be evaluated based on results of the corresponding bids.
