The Stewardship Architecture — Orientation

This site operates through three complementary layers:

The Living Archive provides orientation and sensemaking.
The Degree Pathway supports stewardship development over time.
The Stewardship Readiness Institute (SRI) offers behavioral governance calibration where responsibility and authority expand.

Each layer serves a different function:

Orientation → understanding
Development → integration
Governance → accountability

Participation in one layer does not require participation in another.
Together, they form a coherent ecosystem supporting responsible influence without hierarchy or coercion.

The Degrees describe increasing responsibility:

🌱 Initiate — personal awakening
🌿 Steward — relational responsibility
🏛️ Architect — structural influence
🌍 Custodian — systemic guardianship

As responsibility increases, accountability deepens.

Advancement Requirements

Degree I → II

No formal assessment required.

Degree II → III (Architect)

Completion of SRI-16 Multi-Rater (360 Edition) required.

Behavior must be observed by others, not assumed.

Degree III → IV (Custodian)

Completion of SRI-24 Guardian version required.

This examines:

Stress Integrity
Structural Power Safeguards

Custodianship requires stability under pressure.

Advancement reflects responsibility readiness, not achievement.

Stewardship Integrity Statement

The Stewardship Readiness framework measures observable behavioral frequency. It does not measure identity, spiritual attainment, moral worth, or leadership potential in isolation.

Results are:

Context-dependent
Perception-based
Developmental in purpose

This framework exists to increase responsibility where influence expands. It is not designed for comparison, ranking, or control. Stewardship deepens through accountability — not prestige.
