The Venture Labor OS

Three tiers. Contribution and vouching. No tier for sale.

• Viewer: unauthenticated public + anyone signed up but not yet vouched. Sees marketing surfaces, open RFPs, published showcase, policies, trust page; can manage own profile and opt in/out of Tier-2 data participation.
• Partner: vetted counterparty and active revenue-sharing contributor. Limited-scope EPK. Discovery-hidden by default; recognition unlocks a discovery window. Votes in the Partner body on operational governance.
• Member: full builder and cooperative steward. Sees the internal directory, calendar, activity feed. Full MVP score visibility. Co-brand rights. Canonization at year end. Votes in both bodies; carries treasury, covenant, and ratification voice on structural decisions.

Deliver. Communicate. Route through the platform. Give honest peer review. Respect confidentiality.

Each carries a consequence. Compliance penalty, or expulsion per bylaws.

Seven sub-ratings: quality, outcomes, reliability, hustle, collaboration, attendance, referrals + BD. Twelve-month rolling, weighted recent.

Bands: 90+ Champion's Court eligible. 75-89 Promotion eligible. 65-74 Good standing. Below 65 Probation. New Members: provisional until promotion.

Decline surfaces inside a quarter. Recovery works the same.

Each violation: −9 OVR for 90 days, stacking. Three inside 90 days: probation.

Admin-recorded with reason on the audit log. Rescission available, also audit-logged. Arbitration available on disputed penalties.

• Future Modernist of the Month: metric shortlist + admin editorial pick while the cooperative is small. Member vote once the voting Membership is large enough to make the outcome meaningful. Open to Members and Partners. Unlocks a public-discovery window for Partners.
• Constellation of the Year: annual cohort of Members who held Champion's Court standing during the year.
• Champion's Court: top 10% of Members at OVR ≥ 90. Refreshes daily.

Members co-brand with FM. Recognized Partners get a featured window at reduced weight. Full weight is for Members.

Every quote: base and ceiling. Base pays. Ceiling releases on a quality gate.

Gate: client rating ≥ 4/5. Fallback: PM rating (60%) + peer composite (40%) ≥ 4. Reclaimed ceilings feed the Engagement Recovery Pool.

The client never sees the gate. Talent conditioning, not a price lever.

Cooperative revenue supports the people who deliver the work and the operations that make it possible:

• 85% to the people doing the work.
• The remaining share supports the people who run the deal and cooperative operations.

Disclosed on every contract. When a contract settles, everyone paid gets a statement showing their share, what it was calculated from, and any $BUILD issued alongside it. No silent skim.

End of every calendar year, each active Member (plus every Partner who held a recognition that year) mints a canonization card. ERC-721 NFT with an ERC-6551 token- bound account. A wallet for that Member's year.

Tier locks to the year-end rarity band (gray probation, green good standing, blue promotion eligible, magenta Future Modernist, gold-holographic Champion). The card holds the $BUILD allocated that year, wrapped recognition NFTs, and cooperative artifacts collected from the cohort. On-chain provenance of a Member's year — not a vote-weight multiplier. Governance stays one-person-one-vote in each chamber.

Phygital versions become a marketplace product class. Members buy their own at near-cost; outsiders buy as collectibles at market rate.

Canon starts at zero. First real canonization at the end of the first full calendar year. No retroactive standing.

Two chambers. Both one-person-one-vote in their own body. Token holdings do not weight votes — anti-whale at the governance layer.

• Partner body — operational governance. Matching policy, project selection rules, admin approvals, RFP acceptance criteria, moderator selection, cohort spotlights. Working contributors get voice on how the work runs.
• Member body — existential governance. Treasury allocation, covenant amendments, tier structure changes, Member admissions, direction pivots. Also ratifies structural changes sent up from the Partner body.

Operational rules — matching, RFP flow, moderator selection — change on Partner-body vote. Existential rules — covenant, MVP mechanic, recognition rails, compensation, revenue split — change on Member-body vote. Proposals posted 30 days before either vote.

Every change audit-logged with proposal, vote results, effective date. On-chain provenance from each Member's canonization TBA gives transparency to contribution and standing — it is not itself a vote-weight multiplier.
