Moment

`celebration`

Achievement, milestone, streak. Enthusiasm is earned, not excessive.

Weights

ContentRX adjusts how strictly each standard is enforced in this moment. Cross-reference any standard by its ID to read the full rule.

VT-05 — Show empathy in error and failure states, scaled to the severity of the problem. High-impact errors (payment failures, data loss) should acknowledge the frustration and reassure the user. Low-impact errors (failed upload, timeout) should be clear and helpful without over-dramatizing.
Celebration copy should feel genuinely warm.
VT-02 — Address the user directly with 'you' and 'your' in consumer-facing UI copy. Third-person references to 'users,' 'members,' or 'customers' are acceptable in admin interfaces, documentation, and system descriptions where the reader is not the subject.
Use 'you/your' — this is the user's achievement, not the product's.
VT-03 — Be conversational but not casual. Write like a knowledgeable colleague, not a robot or a buddy.
Robotic tone undermines the earned emotional beat.

GRM-03 — Use exclamation points sparingly. Never use more than one at a time, and never in error messages or alerts.
Exclamation marks are earned in achievement moments.
CON-02 — Use sentence case for headings and UI labels, not title case.
Achievement copy uses branded/stylized casing as intentional emphasis.
