Outcome

>=3 of top 10 scored champions generate a referral within 7 days

Leading Indicators

  • Champion score distribution
  • Top-10 identification accuracy
  • Referral conversion from recognition outreach

Instructions

  1. Run the champion-identification-scoring drill: extract 30 days of community data from Slack/Discord, compute composite scores (helpfulness 35%, content 25%, consistency 20%, reach 10%, expertise 10%), create 4-tier cohorts in PostHog.

  2. Manually validate top 10 scored members: check message history, question-answering patterns, resource sharing, and consistency. Recalibrate weights if >3 of top 10 fail validation.

  3. Send personal recognition outreach to each validated champion: acknowledge specific contributions, offer recognition perks, make a single frictionless referral ask (pre-written social post, one-click invite link, or colleague introduction).

  4. Track responses and referral actions in Attio for 7 days.

  5. Run the threshold-engine drill: pass if >=3 of top 10 generate a referral action. If fail but >=6 responded positively, iterate the ask. If <6 responded, recalibrate scoring.
