That sounds interesting to us, too.

I've been trying to balance the issue of multiple reports for the same
incident (each needing acknowledgement) against the desire to reward
people for bothering to report or question them in the first place.

I've been thinking of a system to allow people to report the email
automatically, that will do some automated analysis (i.e. identify sources
and URLs), and if there are sufficient trusted reports, might even take
automatic action for us.

So a slightly different focus, but probably still useable for your
purposes. However at the moment I haven't found any products, and the
alternative is to write it ourselves.

Excerpts from Ben Woelk's message of 2015-04-28 07:23:23 +1200:
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has implemented a program that provides recognition/incentives for 
end users who successfully identify and report phishes, or display other "awareness" behaviors.
