Levels and slots
There are two separate counts: how many testers a job takes, and how many jobs you can hold at once. Both are known up front.
The difference between them
The job's slots
The company writes how many testers it takes. Once full, the job drops off the queue and no waiting list is kept. Opening one job to several people is deliberate: how many testers hit the same bug is separate information for the client.
Your slots
Your level sets how many jobs you can hold at the same time. A job you have delivered and are waiting on does not count against it — work in acceptance does not block you.
The level table
Acceptance rate is calculated over the last thirty days. Illustrative figures.
| Level | Concurrent slots | Types unlocked | Acceptance rate | Jobs needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Web | — | — |
| 2 | 2 | Web, mobile | 85% | 5 accepted |
| 3 | 4 | Desktop added | 90% | 20 accepted |
| 4 | 6 | Embedded added | 94% | 50 accepted |
Can a level drop
It can. If your acceptance rate falls under your level's threshold, or you repeatedly miss deadlines on work you took, your slot count drops one step. The first miss costs nothing; it counts from the second. Five accepted jobs bring it back — you do not start over.

Mobile work opens after your first five accepted jobs.
