+
+### Galaxy Brain (Tier 3)
+To reach the next tier (Bronze, which requires 8 accepted answers), you need 6 more accepted answers in GitHub Discussions.
+1. Have a real user or a friend ask a question in the `AutoData` Discussions tab.
+2. Provide a helpful answer to their question.
+3. The user who asked the question must click "Mark as answer" on your reply.
+
+### Starstruck (Tier 2)

+*   **Action Plan:** Focus on promoting the repository through social media, Reddit (e.g., r/Python, r/MachineLearning, r/DataScience), and tech blogs.
+*   *Note: Do not attempt to use bots or fake accounts to generate stars. GitHub actively detects and flags this behavior.*
