How Bricqs automates competitions end-to-end

Four capabilities that handle the full contest lifecycle.

01

Lifecycle management

The ContestLifecycleWorker automates state transitions — draft to scheduled to active to scoring to completed. Time windows, entry limits, and budget caps are enforced automatically.

Contests run on autopilot from launch to completion. No manual state changes, no missed deadlines, no forgotten payouts.
02

Real-time scoring

ContestScoringService processes qualifying facts as they arrive. Composite scores combine points with timestamp-based tie-breaking. Redis sorted sets provide instant leaderboard queries.

Participants see their rank update the moment they act. Real-time feedback drives competitive behavior and sustained engagement.
03

Automated prize allocation

When contests end, the lifecycle worker rebuilds final scores from source events, ranks participants, and allocates prizes by tier. Budget caps prevent overspend.

Prize distribution happens automatically with full auditability. No manual spreadsheet matching or delayed reward fulfillment.
04

Built-in fraud detection

Velocity checks per minute, hour, and day detect abnormal scoring patterns. Suspicious rank jumps trigger automatic flagging or disqualification. Budget controls cap total liability.

Reward economics are protected without slowing legitimate participants. Fraud detection runs inline with scoring — not as an afterthought.

How contests work

Three steps from contest creation to automated prize distribution.

01

Design the Contest

Choose a template or build from scratch. Set scoring rules, entry requirements, time windows, and prize tiers. Five system templates cover common patterns.

Competition integrity at scale

Idempotent scoring, fraud detection, and auditable prize allocation for high-stakes competitions.

Every score event, rank change, and prize allocation is logged with source fact IDs, timestamps, and rule versions — providing full dispute resolution capability.

Idempotent scoring with UNIQUE(contest_id, source_fact_id) prevents duplicate facts from inflating scores.
Velocity-based fraud detection catches bot behavior, multi-accounting, and suspicious rank jumps.
Score rebuild jobs allow full re-evaluation from source events for dispute resolution or rule corrections.

Contest performance analytics

Measure participation, engagement curves, and prize ROI across contests.

Participation funnels show entry-to-completion rates and identify where contestants disengage.
Engagement curves reveal whether scoring activity is sustained or front-loaded — indicating contest duration optimization.
Prize ROI analysis connects reward spend to downstream metrics like retention, purchases, or referrals.
