Your monthly spark allowance
100 sparks to give each month — 10 per shoutout, ~2 a week. Use them or lose them.
Every month you receive 100 sparks to give to packmates. These are yours to send, not to keep — they don't add to your own balance.
The numbers
- 100 sparks to give per month
- 10 sparks per shoutout/recognition
- That's 10 shoutouts a month — roughly 2 per week
The goal is simple: recognise someone twice a week. Small, consistent recognition builds stronger team culture than one big gesture at month-end.
Use-it-or-lose-it
Unspent sparks don't roll over to the next month. This is intentional — it keeps recognition flowing regularly rather than getting saved up and forgotten.
How to send
- 1Find a packmate you want to recognise.
- 2Write a specific, genuine two-sentence recognition (what they did + why it mattered).
- 3Tag the Wolf Logic pillar it connects to.
- 4Send — 10 sparks from your allowance go to them automatically.
It doesn't cost you anything
The 10 sparks come from your giving allowance, not your personal spark balance. You can send shoutouts all month without losing a single spark you've earned.
Top tips
Make the most of this feature
- 1
Two shoutouts a week is the sweet spot — enough to build the habit, specific enough to feel meaningful.
- 2
Don't save them all for month-end. Recognise people in the moment, within 24 hours of the thing that impressed you.
- 3
If you're not sure who to recognise, check who hasn't received one in a while — they probably need it most.
