Member learn · Stages & orbit
Status you earn, not request.
Stages are computed, not awarded. They reflect earning consistency, orbit signal, velocity and network depth — not how loud you are.
The ladder
Five stages, one ladder.
Stage thresholds are subject to product/compliance approval before user-facing publication. The names are stable; the numbers will sharpen.

Recognition that follows real activity.
Stages can unlock design treatments, prompts, member recognition and future invite allowances. They're a signal of the room you're in — not a status badge to collect.

Cards, pots and the rest.
Stages affect what your card looks like and which pots you can open. See how it all connects.
