Q3·W6 â 30,950 points | Hawthorne in Action | 2à Admin Sprintsððââïž | OKðR s 4.7 â 5.0
This week we hit 30,950 points â our highest nonâfinancial score since 2017 â and did it the hard way: sustained legal prep powered by GPTâ5 and the Hawthorne Effect.
How the OKðR System Works
Our OKðR (Objectives & Key Results) system combines behavioural science, gamification, and data-driven tracking into a personal and organisational productivity engine.
- Every work session earns a category emoji showing what area the work supports (âïž for Sienna AI, ð¹ for litigation, ð€ for health, etc.).
- A standard productive session scores 200 points.
- High-impact work can earn additional âPlanck scoresâ â âð (100), âð (250), âðªïž (500), all the way to âðŠŒ (2,500) for game-changing achievements.
- The Admin Sprint bonus: when a session is devoted entirely to an unpleasant but necessary task â the kind that keeps projects moving but nobody wants to do â points double from 200 to 400 ððââïž.
This week, a lot of those sprints were in legal case prep â dense, repetitive work â and the double-point incentive turned potential procrastination into steady, motivated progress.

- Base scoring: A standard productive session scores 200 points.
- Planck bonuses: Highâimpact work can earn additional âPlanck scoresâ â âð (100), âð (250), âðªïž (500), up to âðŠŒ (2,500) for gameâchanging achievements.

ð The Hawthorne Effect in Action
UCS Hawthorne for Richard Thaler â By Nick Ray Ball 14th June 2018
The roots of the scoring system trace to the Hawthorne Effect â people perform better simply because they know theyâre being observed. In the original studies, one group was financially incentivised and the other wasnât â both improved, because both knew they were being monitored.
Weâve recreated that effect digitally. Every action is logged, scored, categorised, and visible in the historical record. This constant âobservationâ â by yourself, your peers, or your future self reviewing performance â fuels consistent improvement.
Itâs the same principle we used in UCS Hawthorne for the villaârental industry, where agents competed daily in a pointsâbased game. The twist? Everyone could see everyone elseâs scores. The observation itself became as powerful a motivator as the rewards.

- Hospitals are split into teams and departments.
- Every task â from surgery to bedpan duty â is scored.
- âYuckyâ tasks earn more points, just like our Admin Sprints.
- Leaderboards run within hospitals and between hospitals, creating a friendly, competitive drive for efficiency.
This isnât just theory â itâs a proven way to motivate teams to tackle less-glamorous but essential work. When even the least desirable jobs earn prestige through points, they get done â and done well.
ðïž OKðR s 5.0 â Powering Government
OKðR s 5.0 takes the same approach to government decision-making:
- NHS OKðR data flows up to policy-makers.
- Cabinet ministers can see, in real time, which initiatives are working, whoâs delivering results, and where support is needed.
- The Hawthorne Effect now operates at the level of national governance â everyone in the system can see whoâs moving the needle.
When you merge UCS Hawthorne observation with high-value incentives, you get something rare: a framework that not only measures outcomes but actively creates them.
â¡ And GPT-5 Makes It Faster
This weekâs record-breaking score wasnât just about the system â it was about tools. GPT-5âs 400k-token context window meant we could keep massive case files âloadedâ without splitting the conversation, speeding up research, drafting, and cross-referencing. OpenAIâs Rosalinda confirmed the spec, and from here, weâre exploring how far that advantage can go.
ð Summary
This week proved the model â double-point incentives drive completion of unpleasant but critical tasks, the Hawthorne Effect sustains high performance, and GPT-5 removes friction in large-scale reasoning. From the original villa rental game to NHS efficiency drives to government policy alignment, the principle holds: when everyone sees the scoreboard, everyone plays better.
