Perhaps I am too much of a "normal" but the phrase "SaaS Achievement Engine" sounds like that specific type of tech-marketing-speak that will be unappealing to site owners because they will be too bashful to admit that they have no idea what it actually means. I have no such hangups.
Second comment is that I think incentive systems are highly highly tied - almost inextricably so - with the content and community around each individual site. In order for a reward system to work correctly, it has to be based on existing user behavior. For site owners who know this, they'll probably want to structure the system themselves. For site/app owners who don't, how will you sell them on the idea that incentive systems are important to begin with? I think the market you're dealing with right now is people who understand the importance of incentive systems but don't know or are too lazy/busy to make one themselves. If you believe this market is large enough, you should go for it.
- ryanelkins 17y agoThe whole SAAS Achievement engine thing is a tricky bit. We've found that people that are familiar with achievements from games immediately get what we are talking about. Those that aren't struggle with the idea a bit. The post does explain what an achievement system is and we do realize that educating people will be a hurdle to overcome. As far as how tied together things are we have definitely been thinking of offering some professional type services where we do alot of the work for people or some consulting work to help them best implement this system. Those who know what they want will have free reign to implement whatever kind of system they want as nothing is predefined.
