how scoring works
every point is earned, not given.
There's no vanity metric here. Each board counts one real thing you did to get someone unstuck. Here's exactly what lands you on each one.
Overall
the rescue squad, all-in
Your overall score is the sum of all five department scores below. Tech boards aren't double-counted into it. they're a different cut of the same delivery work. Ties share a rank.
by department
Best Answer
counted in best answers
You wrote the reply the asker marked as the one that solved it.
rule+1 for every thread reply of yours that gets accepted as the answer.
Speed Solver
counted in fast solves
Right, and fast. You answered before the thread went quiet.
rule+1 for each accepted answer posted within 60 minutes of the thread being opened.
Consultation
counted in consults
Someone brought you in privately and walked away unstuck.
rule+1 each time a private chat you took on gets marked resolved.
Delivered
counted in delivered
You shipped the thing and the owner signed off on it.
rule+1 each time an owner confirms you got their project done.
Empathy
counted in reactions
People reacted to your comments and threads.
rule+1 for every reaction your comments receive across the feed.
by tech
Per-tool experts
who's the go-to for each stack
Every job you deliver counts toward each tool that project was built with.
rule+1 per resolved or owner-confirmed help, for each tool tagged on that project. A board only appears once it has at least 3 ranked helpers.

fresh races, not just a hall of fame
The toggle re-counts every board using only the points earned inside that window. by the moment each one landed (answer posted, help resolved, work confirmed, reaction given). A great week can put a brand-new helper on top, even if the all-time board belongs to a veteran.
A board needs at least 5 ranked contributors before it goes live (3 for tech). Until then it stays hidden so a single point doesn't crown a champion.
