Expert recognition program

Recognition for experts should reward value, not volume.

Experts earn standing primarily through quality evaluations of their content, and secondarily through the number of patrons subscribed to them. The reward is increased marketing exposure that helps potential patrons discover the experts doing the strongest work.

Not output volume

Production alone is not the score.

Videos, blogs, and workshops matter because they can be evaluated for quality and value. Raw quantity should not outrank strong evaluations or real subscribed patron demand.

Public vs internal

Show recognition, keep scoring auditable.

Public pages can show badges, tiers, and rankings. Internal systems should keep the detailed scoring model, anti-gaming checks, and dispute review trail.

Patron-connected

Recognition should create more discovery.

The practical reward for strong expert contribution is more platform marketing: better discovery placement, featured campaigns, and more exposure to potential patrons.

Expert recognition feeds the Expert program.

Recognition should help identify who deserves more visibility, who qualifies for stronger expert status, and which experts are creating the highest-quality content. Patron count matters, but the system should avoid becoming a raw popularity contest by weighting quality evaluations first.
