The 50-22 // The Motion Brand

50-22 is more than a name, it's a verb. It's the strategic motion of taking a program from idea to completion. Inspired by rugby, where a well-placed kick from your own half (50m line) that lands in the opponent's "safe zone" (the 22m line) wins you a massive territorial advantage.

When you join a challenge on PaulaRum, 50-22 is the framework we use to get it done. It's about precision, strategy, and teamwork.

1. The Perfect 50-22 Kick (Strategic Win)

This is the goal. Your team meticulously plans and executes. You deliver the project on time, within scope, and exceeding expectations. You gain the "touch with possession"—meaning you have momentum, credibility, and are ready for the next play (challenge).

2. The Missed Kick (Territory Lost)

The kick is good, but it misses the 22 and the other team gets the ball. In our world, this means the project is completed, but with compromises. Maybe it's late, over budget, or key features were cut. You got it done, but you lost strategic advantage. The other team (or market forces) now has the initiative.

3. Kick Directly Into Touch (Critical Failure)

The worst outcome. You kick the ball directly out of bounds. The play moves all the way back to where you kicked from. This represents a failed project or a critical misstep that sets the team back significantly. It's a costly error that requires a complete reset of strategy.
