The competitionprofile
The ten invariants, bound to a domain. A specification ignores where it lands; a profile ties it to precise words, and an implementation executes a profile.
A competition's chain
Four roles exchange value, and an arbiter is paid to keep the exchange exact. Each one brings, each one leaves served.
Ten rules, each backed by its invariant
A profile rule cannot contradict the invariant it applies: it makes it precise in a domain, and nothing more.
A vote's weight cannot be bought
Applies invariant 1A vote that is paid, offered or free weighs exactly the same in the result. There is no coefficient for sale, at any price, to anybody.
Conformance · The counting rule is published, and every work's public vote breakdown lets a third party verify that no source weighs more than another.
A sealed record does not reopen
Applies invariant 2A published result is timestamped and sealed by the arbiter. Nobody, not the organiser, not even the arbiter, rewrites it. Correcting means publishing a next version, dated.
Conformance · Every record carries its sealing date, readable years later; any correction appears as a new dated version.
Attention
Applies invariant 3Nothing comes between the audience and the works. A brand appears only attached to a contribution: votes it offered, at the moment somebody backs a talent.
Conformance · The forms of sponsored presence are listed publicly; each is labelled; none of them buys a rank.
Reputation
Applies invariant 4A record, a supporters board line, a tier badge: dated facts the platform observed. Never a star rating, never an average, never a review to be asked for.
Conformance · Every element states the fact that grounds it and its date; no aggregated score on a named person.
Who pays what
Applies invariant 5The full grid is public: subscription, commission on flows, paid votes, entry fees, and what each role never pays.
Conformance · The pricing grid is a public dated page; the commission is drawn at payout and the rule is published.
Trust, and minors
Applies invariant 6Protection of minors, fraud resistance, vote integrity, the full jury and the right to receive your money are identical on the free tier and on the custom contract.
Conformance · The list is published on the pricing page; an undeclared age counts as a minor, and that rule is announced.
Data
Applies invariant 7A date of birth serves one purpose: knowing whether somebody is a minor. No behavioural targeting, no sale to ad brokers, and brands never receive a voter's identity.
Conformance · Purposes are published before collection; erasure is self-service, with a proven cascade.
The machine
Applies invariant 8The assistant proposes a structure, a moderation pass, a report. It never decides an entry, a verdict, a payment or a record.
Conformance · Automatic contributions are labelled; every act of authority carries a human decider in the audit log.
Intermediaries
Applies invariant 9Ambassadors and certified consultants publish what they may promise. Their status is verifiable from the directory, without asking them.
Conformance · The list of permitted and forbidden promises is public; a certificate is checkable, and the check says so when it has been withdrawn.
Every role leaves with something
Applies invariant 10Organiser, talent, audience, sponsor: for each, what it brings and what it takes away is published, and the arbiter is paid on the exchange it guarantees.
Conformance · The map of the chain is a public page; each role can read there what is owed to it.
What we prove, screen by screen
A standard nobody can check is worth nothing. Here is how every promise is observed from the outside.
