The marathon is over and the data is verified!
After an intensive 72-hour audit and a fantastic community discussion regarding the balance of growth vs. absolute impact (see the full discussion here), we have finalized the official results for the 2025 Movers & Shakers Decathlon.
Methodology Refinement: The Combined Impact Model The preliminary phase sparked a great debate: how do we value the massive, sustained contributions of our veteran “Titans” against the explosive percentage growth of our “Rising Stars”?
To ensure the most equitable outcome, I have adopted a Combined Impact Model for the final selection of the 2025 Movers & Shakers Champions. Rather than selecting from separate lists, the sum of the scores from both the Mover and Shaker Decathlons was used. This approach naturally rewards the “Dual Elites”—the all-rounders who lead the community in both volume and growth.
An Inclusive Victory: In pursuit of full transparency, I discovered a significant tie at the 100th position on the Champions leaderboard, with a large group of Local Guides achieving a Combined Decathlon Score of 6. In the spirit of the community, I have chosen Inclusion over Exclusion and expanded the final list to recognize all 106 Champions who met this high performance threshold.

Thank you to everyone who participated, audited, and helped in refining this system. This wasn’t just a marathon of contributions; it was a masterclass in community collaboration.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! See you on the 2026 boards!
