The KPI that would account for the collective action and package it into a means of payment so that its value could be commercialised, would function just like money, as a measure of success and way of paying for things.

The platform might be private, but the standards that govern issuance and regulations would be owned independently by the community so that they control the currency for the benefit of the community’s constituents. It just needs a commercial contract between the two entities to govern the amount that the platform service would cost to run – everything else would be repaid to the community by way of dividend.
