**2018**

- [3128900-032](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-032) [mechanism/argued] -- The gamification design borrows the foundational proof of work principle that verifying a game was played properly is far easier than playing it properly, which is why bench validators can check task performance almost fully automatically.
  > The foundational principle of proof of work in the blockchain suggests that it is a lot easier to verify a game was played properly than it is to play it properly.

- [3128900-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-033) [definitional/asserted] -- Gamification is stipulated as the process of adding games or game like elements, such as a micro task, in order to encourage active worker participation, boost motivation, and increase user loyalty.
  > Gamification is defined as the process of adding games or game-like elements, such as a micro-task, to encourage active task worker participation, boost motivation, and increase user loyalty.

- [3128900-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-034) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Existing decentralized gamification attempts for micro task workers fail because they are monodimensional and permit earning only by playing the game, whereas a multidimensional design gives players several ways to earn and builds stronger loyalty.
  > Unlike other decentralized gamification attempts for micro task workers that are monodimensional and only allow earning by playing the game, the Semada platform offers players multiple opportunities to earn by playing.

**2024**

- [4755632-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-016) [design/argued] -- Gamification supplies quality control by making workers review and rate each other's contributions for points or recognition, which surfaces and resolves discrepancies through consensus-based voting or peer review rather than through duplicated independent work.
  > Gamification can be utilized to improve data quality through mechanisms like consensus-based voting or peer review. Workers can review and rate each other's contributions, earning points or recognition for accurate and consistent work.

- [4755632-041](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-041) [condition/argued] -- Combining decentralized governance with gamification of micro task work is the condition under which gamification does not compromise dataset quality and accuracy, and this combination is what allows gamified micro task work to scale high-quality diverse datasets for AI learning.
  > combination of decentralized governance and gamification of micro task work, ALE Platform ensures that gamification techniques do not compromise the quality and accuracy
