Gamification: The End of the Grade Point Average

In the real world, "70% competence" in bridge-building is not a passing grade; it is a disaster. KOA abolishes the industrial 0-100 scale. We replace it with a binary standard: Competence Acquired or In Progress.

You cannot "fail" a Kristal. You simply haven't earned it yet.

The 4 Levels of Mastery

We gamify the learning curve. Every skill (e.g., Python Basics) is a "Kristal" that evolves through four specific states.

The Validation Engine: "KonnectED"

How do we validate millions of projects without millions of teachers? We use a Peer-to-Peer Consensus Mechanism, similar to how scientific review works, but accelerated.

1. Submission: Student uploads their "Proof of Work" (e.g., a photo of their welded joint, or a link to their GitHub repo).
2. Routing: The Orgo engine routes this submission to 3 random students who already hold a Gold/Kristal badge in that specific skill.
3. Consensus:
   • If 3/3 say "Valid" → Badge Minted.
   • If Consensus Fails → Sent to a Human Mentor for arbitration.
4. Reward: The reviewers earn "Civic Credits" for their service, incentivizing the network to grade itself.

The "Living" Transcript

Your diploma is dead. It is a piece of paper in a drawer. The KOA Portfolio is alive.

• Granular: Employers don't see "Degree in CS." They see "React (Gold), Python (Silver), Teamwork (Kristal)."
• Verifiable: Every badge is cryptographically signed. No fake degrees.
• Permanent: It belongs to the student, not the school. Even if the school closes, the blockchain remains.
