plen.ai — Gamification & Development System

01 · Progression System

Six Tiers.
One Journey.

Every athlete starts White. Advancement requires both real development (OVR) and consistent commitment (sessions). You cannot buy your tier. You earn it — one session at a time.

Superpower

TOP ZONE · LEAD WITH THIS

80–99

This attribute is a genuine weapon. It's not just good — it's something this athlete does better than almost anyone their age in this programme. The design principle: every profile, every parent update, every AI insight opens with Superpower attributes first. Strengths lead, always.

⚽ Athlete Sees

"⚡ Superpower — Your pace is exceptional. This is your biggest weapon. Lead with it."

🧑‍🏫 Coach Sees

"PAC: 81 · Superpower. Reinforce in wide transition. Use as press trigger. This is a tactical asset."

📈

Developing

GROWING · VISIBLE PROGRESS

65–79

This attribute is growing well and shows consistent improvement. The athlete is in the productive middle — enough competence to compete, enough room to grow. This zone is framed as momentum, not mediocrity. Progress here is celebrated.

⚽ Athlete Sees

"📈 Developing — Your passing is growing every session. You're making real progress here — keep building."

🧑‍🏫 Coach Sees

"PAS: 72 · Developing. Upward trend +4 over 5 sessions. Continue pressing game to develop decision speed."

🔓

Unlocking

STARTING TO CLICK · NEXT FOCUS

50–64

This attribute is starting to show up, but inconsistently. There's the foundation of a skill here — it just needs directed attention to become reliable. The framing is always forward-looking: "starting to click" signals possibility, not deficit. This is the zone coaches target next.

⚽ Athlete Sees

"🔓 Unlocking — Your shooting is starting to click. Focus here this week and you'll see it move fast."

🧑‍🏫 Coach Sees

"SHO: 61 · Unlocking. High variance — good sessions exist, inconsistency the issue. Technique reps needed."

🌱

Foundation

BUILDING THE BASE · PATIENCE NEEDED

1–49

This attribute is early in development. The label "Foundation" is chosen deliberately — it's the base that everything else gets built on. Athletes in this zone for an attribute are never shown raw scores. The framing is always constructive: this is where the building starts. Never a weakness. Always a beginning.

⚽ Athlete Sees

"🌱 Foundation — You're building the base here. Every rep you put in now is an investment in who you'll be."

🧑‍🏫 Coach Sees

"DEF: 49 · Foundation. Gap of −16 from Unlocking threshold. Positional awareness drills are the priority."

How a Session
Becomes Data.

From the moment an athlete steps onto the pitch to the moment their card updates — every step is deliberate, fast, and coach-friendly. Click each step to see the screen behind it.

01

Session Created

2 MIN

Coach creates the session in advance or on arrival. Selects session type (training/match/assessment), focus tags, and facility code. Takes 2 minutes maximum.

02

Attendance Marked

45 SEC

Coach taps each athlete's face to mark present/absent. The attendance grid is sorted by squad position. One thumb, 45 seconds for 23 players.

Session Runs

60–90 MIN

Coach coaches. The app is in their pocket. No data entry during the session — just coaching. Optional: quick voice note on an athlete mid-session if something remarkable happens.

SESSION LIVE · 47:23 Optional mid-session note: "Ethan — exceptional wide run, beat 2 defenders. Note for rating." Coach's job: COACH, not log.

04

Post-Session Rating

8–15 MIN

After the final whistle, coach works through their key athletes — typically 6–10 per session. 8 attribute sliders per athlete, optional note. The quick rating tool is designed for one thumb while standing.

AI Pipeline Runs

30–60 SEC

The AI insight engine assembles context for each rated athlete — last 5 sessions, trends, goals, coach notes. Claude generates a post-session brief and a coaching action. Stored, coach-only, ready before Thursday's session.

AI INSIGHT READY · COACH ONLY Ethan Lim · Post-Session Strength: "Pace and work rate clicking together — genuine press trigger." Next unlock: "Receiving under pressure. Small-sided rondos recommended." Action: "Wide channel role Thursday."

Athlete & Parent Notified

AUTO

Athlete sees their updated card, PB banner, XP earned. Parent receives a plain-English notification — no scores, just the story. PB notifications are celebrations, not reports. The coach controls the narrative.

ATHLETE (Ethan) "🏆 Personal Best — Pace! +150 XP" OVR: 70 → 72 · Silver Tier ✓ PARENT (Mrs Lim) "Ethan just set a Personal Best in Pace! He's working hard. 🏆"

White Card

OVR — · First Session

Ryan joins Woodlands FC. Coach logs his first ever rated session. He scores 4.2 in pace, 3.8 in technique. He doesn't see those numbers. He sees: "🌱 You're building your foundation."

🎯 First Touch · +50 XP

After 5 sessions, Ryan's consistent attendance and improving work rate push him to Bronze. His coach notes: "He never stops running." WRK enters Developing zone for the first time.

🥉 Bronze Tier · +300 XP

Bronze

OVR 44 · 6 Sessions

11

Silver

OVR 58 · 18 Sessions

1.5 years of consistent training. Ryan's TEC and MEN both enter Developing zone. His first Personal Best fires on PAC — the animation plays on his phone. His mum gets a notification. She shows it to his dad.

🥈 Silver Tier · +300 XP

Ryan is 13. His OVR trajectory over 6 months is 96th percentile for U13 midfielders in the programme. The AI flags him. The NSA Technical Director books a regional assessment — they've never heard of Ryan Tan.

🏛️ NSA Flagged · +1000 XP

Gold

OVR 68 · 35 Sessions

Platinum

OVR 78 · 65 Sessions

Ryan's card now shows TEC and MEN in Superpower zone. His coach retires — but the complete development record transfers seamlessly. His new coach opens 6 years of session history on day one. Nothing is lost.

💠 Platinum Tier · +600 XP

At 17, Ryan is named to the Singapore national squad. He has been on plen.ai for 8 years. His complete development story — every session, every coach note, every personal best — is portable, permanent, and his.

                   + PHY×1.0 + MEN×1.1 + TEC×1.1 + WRK×1.1) ÷ 8.3

WRK and MEN carry 1.1× weight because effort and mentality are first-class attributes in plen.ai's development philosophy.
