7 +**IMPORTANT CORRECTION**:
8 +
9 +* Moderator derives from **Reviewer** (NOT from Expert)
10 +* Maintainer derives from **Contributor** (NOT from Reviewer or Moderator)
11 +
12 +**Two Independent Tracks from Contributor**:
13 +
14 +**Content Track**: Contributor → Reviewer → (Auditor | Expert | Moderator)
15 +
16 +* Focus: Content quality, validation, community management
17 +* Skills: Domain expertise, review, moderation
18 +
19 +**Technical Track**: Contributor → Maintainer
20 +
21 +* Focus: System operations, configuration, deployment
22 +* Skills: DevOps, system administration, technical configuration
23 +* **Independent from content review** - Maintainers don't need review skills
24 +
25 +**System Track**: Reader → Technical User
26 +
27 +* Not human users - automated processes
28 +* Examples: AKEL instances, sync bots, monitors
29 +* Managed by Maintainers
30 +
31 +== Role Hierarchy Explanation ==
32 +
33 +**Base: Reader**
34 +
35 +* Anyone, no login required
36 +* Foundation for all other roles
37 +* Can browse, search, compare, flag, and **automatically submit claims**
38 +
39 +**Technical User** (system type, extends Reader)
40 +
41 +* **Not human users** - automated system processes
42 +* Examples: AKEL instances, federation sync bots, backup services, monitoring
43 +* Can perform automated operations
44 +* AKEL is primary implementation of Technical User pattern
45 +
46 +**Contributor** (extends Reader)
47 +
48 +* Registered human users
49 +* Can submit evidence, propose scenarios, participate in discussions
50 +* All Reader capabilities plus contribution rights
51 +* **Two-way branching**: Can become Reviewer (content track) or Maintainer (technical track)
52 +
53 +**Reviewer** (is-a Contributor - Content Track)
54 +
55 +* Trusted community members on **content track**
56 +* Can review and approve content
57 +* Can validate AI-generated content (Mode 2 → Mode 3 for Tier B/C)
58 +* Participates in audit sampling
59 +* **Three-way branching**: Can specialize as Auditor, Expert, or Moderator
60 +
61 +**Maintainer** (is-a Contributor - Technical Track)
62 +
63 +* Core technical team members on **technical track**
64 +* System configuration and deployment authority
65 +* Does NOT require review skills
66 +* Manages Technical Users (creates AKEL instances, sync bots, etc.)
67 +* **Independent from content review hierarchy**
68 +
69 +**Specialized Reviewer Roles**:
70 +
71 +**Auditor** (specialized Reviewer - QA track)
72 +
73 +* Dedicated quality assurance role
74 +* Reviews sampled AI-generated content
75 +* Validates quality gate enforcement
76 +* Provides feedback for system improvement
77 +
78 +**Expert** (specialized Reviewer - domain track)
79 +
80 +* Subject matter specialists
81 +* Final authority for Tier A content in their domain
82 +* Can define domain-specific standards
83 +* Required for Tier A "Human-Reviewed" status
84 +
85 +**Moderator** (specialized Reviewer - process track)
86 +
87 +* Community management focus
88 +* Handles abuse and disputes
89 +* Manages users and permissions
90 +* Oversees audit system
91 +* **Independent from domain expertise and technical operations**
92 +
93 +**AKEL** (Technical User implementation)
94 +
95 +* AI system implementing Technical User interface
96 +* Creates drafts for Contributor review
97 +* Subject to Auditor oversight
98 +* Never bypasses human authority
99 +
100 +== Key Design Principles ==
101 +
102 +**Why Maintainer derives from Contributor (not Reviewer)**:
103 +
104 +* **Different skill set**: Technical operations ≠ Content review
105 +* **Separation of concerns**: Technical authority independent from editorial authority
106 +* **Flexibility**: Can have technical experts without review experience
107 +* **Realistic**: System admin skills and content review skills are distinct
108 +* **Cleaner**: Maintainer manages Technical Users (including AKEL) - natural fit on technical track
109 +
110 +**Why Moderator derives from Reviewer (not Expert)**:
111 +
112 +* Moderators handle **process** (community management, disputes) not **domain expertise**
113 +* Experts focus on **subject matter** (medical, legal, scientific validation)
114 +* Allows independent oversight of content quality (Experts) vs community behavior (Moderators)
115 +* Moderators don't need domain expertise to handle community issues
116 +
117 +**Technical User Pattern**:
118 +
119 +* **Purpose**: Represents automated system processes
120 +* **Examples**: AKEL (AI processing), Federation sync bots, Scheduled audit tasks, Backup services, Monitoring systems, API integrations
121 +* **Managed by**: Maintainers create and configure Technical Users
122 +* **Authority**: Limited to programmatic operations, no human-level decisions
123 +
124 +**Progressive Trust**:
125 +
126 +* Reader → Contributor (registration)
127 +* Contributor → Reviewer (content track) OR Maintainer (technical track)
128 +* Reviewer → Auditor/Expert/Moderator (specializations)
129 +* All appointments based on demonstrated competence
130 +
131 +**Human Authority**:
132 +
133 +* Technical Users assist but don't make human-level decisions
134 +* Human Reviewers validate AI outputs
135 +* Experts have final say on Tier A content
136 +* Moderators have final say on community matters
137 +* Maintainers have final say on technical configuration
