        POC["Level 0: POC/Demo
- Tier C only
- AKEL generates, publishes with disclaimers
- High sampling audit
- Proof of concept"]
        
        R05["Release 0.5: Limited Production
- Tier B/C auto-published
- Tier A flagged for moderator review
- Higher sampling initially
- Algorithm improvement focus"]
        
        R10["Release 1.0: Full Production
- All tiers auto-published
- Clear risk labels on all content
- Reduced sampling as confidence grows
- Mature algorithm performance"]
        
        R20["Release 2.0+: Distributed Intelligence
- Federated multi-node operation
- Cross-node audit sharing
- Advanced pattern detection
- Strategic sampling only"]

Key Principles Across All Levels:
- AKEL makes all publication decisions
- No human approval gates at any level
- Humans monitor metrics and improve algorithms
- Sampling audits inform improvements, don't block publication
- Risk tiers guide audit priorities, not publication permissions
