Community & Gamification

TATER includes a built-in community and gamification system designed to keep compliance teams engaged and motivated. Earn XP, unlock achievements, climb leaderboards, and customize your profile - all while doing real compliance work.

Community Dashboard

Access the community hub by clicking Community → Community in the left navigation. The dashboard shows:

• Your current level and XP progress bar
• Recent achievements you've unlocked
• A mini-leaderboard showing top team members
• Your org's level and achievement count
• Quick links to your profile, full achievements list, and leaderboard

My Profile

Access via Community → My Profile.

Your profile is your identity within TATER. Configure:

• Nickname - A unique display name (2–32 characters). Must be unique within your organization. Co-workers see "nickname (Real Name)" format; people outside your org see only the nickname.
• Avatar - Upload a photo (JPG, PNG, or GIF, max ~150KB) or click 🎲 Random to generate a colorful icon avatar.
• Bio - A short description (max 500 characters) visible to co-workers.
• Profile Color - Pick an accent color for your avatar and profile card.

Click Save Profile to apply changes. Saving your profile for the first time unlocks the "Named" achievement.

XP & Level Progression

You earn XP automatically by performing compliance work - no extra steps required. This is the complete list; the action key column is the identifier the platform records, and is what you will see in audit and MCP contexts.

This table is checked against XP_TABLE in the platform's gamification engine on every API build (tools/check-gamification.js). If an action is added, changed or removed and this table is not updated to match, the build fails - so what you read here is what the platform actually awards.

On top of the table above, unlocking an achievement awards a bonus of roughly 5-500 XP depending on how hard it was. Many achievements are leveled: once you pass the threshold, they level up again every 10% more activity, so they keep paying out rather than topping out at the first unlock.

Tips for Maximizing XP

• Run scans regularly - Each new scan upload awards XP, so schedule weekly automated scans via Azure Automation.
• Document findings - Adding evidence comments earns XP and improves audit quality at the same time.
• Remediate promptly - Triggering remediation scripts awards XP for each finding fixed.
• Build your policy library - Creating policy documents is one of the highest per-action XP earners.
• Export evidence - Generating evidence export packages (ZIP with all controls, overrides, and comments) awards 25 XP.
• Use the AI Analyst - Starting an AI Analyst session awards XP per conversation.
• Complete your profile - Set a nickname and avatar to unlock the "Named" and "Profile Complete" achievements.
