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.

The Final Leaderboards: In the comments that immediately follow you will find the final Movers, Shakers and Champion leaderboards, and by visiting your HUB, you can drill down into the data details.

  • The 2025 Mover Decathlon: Celebrating absolute yearly volume.

  • The 2025 Shaker Decathlon: Celebrating percentage-based growth.

  • The Champions: The final, summed list of our 106 champion Movers & Shakers.

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!

Huge congratulations to the Class of 2025! :tada:

I appreciate the shift toward the Combined Impact Model. It’s great to see a methodology that recognizes the “Dual Elites.” Balancing massive, long-term contributions with the energy of rising stars is exactly what keeps this community vibrant. :star_struck:

@AdamGT a class act to expand the list to 106 - Inclusion over exclusion is what the Local Guides spirit is all about.

Checking my HUB now to dive into the data. See you all on the 2026 boards! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Thanks @AdamGT và chúc mừng 106 thành viên vinh dự có mặt. Tôi đã có 1 thứ tự với con số đẹp 33, và cũng kịp lúc nghĩ ra thêm 3 idea mới cho các tháng 3-4-5 sắp đến, quả là động lực to lớn.

Hi @Mikeinthefalls, thank you so much for the kind words!

I really wanted to make sure that the Combined Impact Model fairly reflected the diversity of our community—celebrating both the long-term ‘Dual Elites’ and the high-energy ‘Shakers’ who are currently rising through the ranks. Expanding to 106 recipients was an easy decision once you could see the ties at the 100 cut-off point; as you said, inclusion is what this spirit is all about.

Enjoy diving into the data on your HUB, and we’ll see you on the 2026 boards!

Hello @AdamGT, I truly appreciate the shift to the Combined Impact Model. It’s a very fair way to celebrate both the veterans and the rising starts. Seeing the final list expanded to 106 Champions is also a wonderful gesture.

My sincere appreciations for all the hard work and dedication you have put into finalizing these results. :+1:

I’m glad our recent technical discussions helped refine the logic for those mid-podium spots. Though it has shifted my rankings downwards slightly, I’m happy that few more Champions were accommodated into the final list. :blush:

Congratulations to the Class of 2025!! :clap: :clap: :tada:

Bonjour @AdamGT. Un immense bravo pour cette nouvelle édition des classements “Top 100 Local Guides Movers & Shakers 2025” ! C’est toujours un plaisir de découvrir vos statistiques (je suis très fier d’y figurer) et c’est une incroyable source de motivation
Merci infiniment pour tout le travail d’analyse, de compilation et de mise en forme que cela représente. D’ailleurs, je me pose souvent la question : mais comment trouvez-vous le temps de faire tout ça et d’obtenir le badge ? C’est vraiment impressionnant ! Encore merci pour votre dévouement et pour tout ce que vous apportez aux Local Guides !
