| BRONZE · 1.0x | 1.0x | Score 50 – 60 | Approved submission, base influence |
| SILVER · 1.5x | 1.5x | Score 61 – 70 | Solid contribution, 50% more influence |
| GOLD · 2.0x | 2.0x | Score 71 – 80 | Strong work, double influence |
| PLATINUM · 2.5x | 2.5x | Score 81 – 90 | Exceptional quality, 2.5x influence |
