Their reward logic is usually embedded directly into business code, which makes it hard to reuse, hard to adapt, and even harder to compare across different contexts. That always bothered me.</p> <p>I wanted something different: a modular engine where incentive strategies could be treated as pluggable components instead of hardcoded features.</p>
