How to use it

Give status to originality, not just volume ("most original post of the week"), with feedback on what made it original and a choice of what to work on. Rewards tied to creativity supported it; rewards for mere completion didn't.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
