## For Relentless Achievers
Traditional gamification (points, badges) is insulting. They care about strategic advantage, not reward systems.

1. **Momentum Score** - Measurable velocity of solved problems and downstream impact
2. **Strategic Insights** - AI-generated patterns revealing their unique problem-solving strengths
3. **High-Stakes Accountability** - Public commitments to ambitious goals, reputation on the line
