Visible standing, fair comparison
Leaderboards
Team and cohort leaderboards built from the same points model as performance tracking, so recognition reflects completed work rather than noise.

The problem
Recognition usually lands on whoever is most visible
Without a shared measure, credit follows visibility rather than contribution — and the people quietly falling behind stay invisible until a deadline passes.
- 01Recognition based on proximity to management
- 02No sense of cohort standing
- 03Quiet non-completion going unnoticed
- 04Nothing to celebrate mid-program
How it works
- 01
Ranked on assessment points
Standing derives from the same points earned through completed assessments, so the ranking is grounded in verified work.
- 02
Scoped to the right group
Rank within a team, department or cohort so comparison stays fair and relevant to the participant.
- 03
Paired with streaks
Consistency shows up alongside totals, so steady participants are visible next to fast finishers.
- 04
Read as a support signal
The bottom of a leaderboard is an early intervention list, not a shaming device — administrators use it to offer help.
