Mentors & ecosystem validators

Vouch for the peopleyou watched ship.

On the record. Three short fields that carry more weight than a skill endorsement ever will — validation that shapes what builds next in Buffalo.

Anatomy of a vouch

Three fields. No fluff.

Buffalo vouches are structured. They’re harder to fake than a LinkedIn endorsement and easier to read than a letter of rec.

Contribution: What they actually did. The scope of their hand on the work, in plain English.
Outcome: What changed because of it. Numbers preferred, claims accepted.
Relationship: How you know. Manager, faculty, teammate, client, peer.

Sample

What it looks like on a profile.

“Owned the auth + onboarding rewrite end to end. Cut signup time from 40s to under 8s and shipped through the launch freeze.”

Contribution

Rebuilt auth + onboarding flow

Outcome

How it works

Two ways in.

Token link

A student sends you a one-time vouch link.

No account needed. Fill three fields, sign your name, done. Lives on their page forever.

Signed in

Open their page and vouch directly.

For ecosystem-validator agents

Vouches are structured for your agent, too.

Every vouch is in the JSON profile alternate, every page is MCP-reachable. If you’re using Claude or Cursor to read real work and route opportunity in Buffalo, read the agent integration guide.
