CD5 is the dominant Core Drive, so recognition carries a high social-motivation load.
The flow is lightweight, but picking the right teammate and taxonomy still needs context.
Signal — motivation is already high; the product should point, not persuade.
The prompt belongs inside the team ritual loop rather than an external campaign.
Hook — the loop

- Reward class
- Tribe + Self
- Investment type
- Social
Click-driven and low-friction, but not one-tap; recipient, type, and context are still choices.
Intentionally zero — kudos isn't a lottery. The reward is the message, not the surprise.
Being seen by people who matter, while reinforcing the sender's identity as a generous teammate.
The user leaves a social artifact in the team context.
