 ## 2026-07-16 - [O(N*M) Nested Loop Lookups in Grading Engines]
 **Learning:** In interactive scenarios (such as Bid Elevator and STR Triage), grading engines frequently iterate over user decisions and match them against scenario properties (like keywords or search terms). Performing `array.find()` inside loop bodies or filter predicates results in costly O(N*M) lookups.
 **Action:** Convert arrays to `Map` lookups before entering loops/nested scans. Mapping keys once in O(M) time enables O(1) lookups during execution, transforming the time complexity of the grading logic to O(N + M).
+
+## 2026-07-16 - [O(R) Database Roundtrips in Badge Evaluation]
+**Learning:** Evaluators checking multiple rules (such as checkCriteria in the badge engine) can generate redundant database queries for identical user records or resource aggregates when looping over each rule. These can be optimized with a transient local cache (caching query promises rather than resolved values) during the evaluation lifecycle, safely collapsing database roundtrips from O(R) to O(1) where R is the number of rules.
+**Action:** Identify multi-rule batch evaluation engines or loops querying identical foreign keys/aggregates and wrap query references in a transient lifetime cache class that caches and returns Prisma query promises.
