Frequently asked questions
What makes recognition land?
Specificity. "Thanks for the hard work" reads as filler; "stayed late to re-run the Tuesday count so the audit passed" reads as real. Name the behaviour and the consequence.
Why do recognition posts under-perform?
In a 35,000-post corpus, recognition was the single largest category at 18.9% of all posts and read at 14.2% — below the median. High volume with low specificity turns into background noise. Fewer, more specific posts do better.
