User health and level
3.5 User-level health
Every user carries a health standing that reflects the quality of their contributions. Health moves gradually: a sequence of clean, complete receipts pushes it up; a sequence of low-quality or inconsistent receipts pulls it down. Health acts as a multiplier on the per-receipt reward rate, so the same receipt can earn different bINT amounts for users with different standing.
Health has three properties worth naming:
- Bounded. It stays inside a configured range that lets a recovering user climb back. New users start at a neutral mid-point.
- Synchronous. It is updated as each receipt is processed, in the same pass that assesses receipt quality (3.3).
- Decayed (planned). A time-decay component, under which older contributions matter less than recent ones, is planned and not active in the current release.
The health range, the rate bands, and the mapping from health into the reward rate are managed in the internal operations layer.
3.6 Level
Health is behaviour-horizon; level is contribution-horizon. Level is an integer that grows with cumulative high-quality contribution. Levels unlock product surfaces.
Level is monotonic. A user who pauses contribution keeps their level while health drifts toward the neutral mid-point.
Level and health act on different parts of the reward computation: level sets the personal purchase-group quota (2 groups at L1–9, 3 at L10–50), and health multiplies the per-receipt reward rate within the fixed 750 personal and 1,000 combined bINT caps.
3.7 The daily ceiling, in plain terms
A user can earn bINT from up to two personal purchase groups per day at levels 1–9 and three at levels 10–50, within the fixed 750 bINT personal daily ceiling (and 1,000 bINT combined with Contribution Center). Health shapes the per-receipt amount through the honor factor; the circulation coefficient shapes the payment component and declines from 4 toward 1 as circulating INT grows. Level does not multiply a receipt or raise its 500 bINT cap.
