The Six-Template Navigator

How to assign the right dashboard to the right operator — without leaking the inner sanctum.

Sealed 17 April 2026 · SCP-2570 · Family: Digital Armour Trilogy (MD-189 · MD-190 · MD-191) · Companion: Six Templates Hub · Split: 70% Architect / 30% Agent · Visibility: internal · noindex

1. Why six, not one

One dashboard for everyone is fragmentation pretending to be unity. Six templates for six functions is specialisation pretending to be nothing. The Red Team already has individual + team dashboards. The Digital Army needed templates — share-able, replicable, role-shaped. This document tells you which template fits which operator, and where the tier-locks sit.

2. The six templates at a glance

Tier	Template	Colour	Function	Lives at
R	Node Operator	Red	Holds territory · recruits sub-nodes · runs the postcode	Card 1
V	Verifier	Green	18→8→6 checkpoint · batch evidence · trust signal	Card 2
G	Gateway Operator	Gold	Owns a gateway · logs deposits · volume + bonus	Card 3
A	AML Partner	Blue	Non-plastic materials · ESG reports · per-tonne fee	Card 4
B	Builder	Grey/White/Gold	Builds pages · ships tools · keeps the system shipping	Card 5
S	Sourcer (NEW)	Purple	Works the Carrot Hit-List · brings tonnes through the door	Card 6

3. Which person sits in which template

Use this column to keep your assignment pencil straight. Names are illustrative — replace with whoever you've onboarded this week. Do not publish this column. It's yours.

Pattern	Template	Why this template
Has postcode + people under them	R · Node Operator	Territory + override pay = node behaviour
Stands at the checkpoint with a phone	V · Verifier	Owns evidence trail · per-batch pay
Owns a bin / unit / collection point	G · Gateway	Volume-based · sensor-watching
Has expertise in compost · soil · textile · food	A · AML	Material is not plastic — different ledger
Ships pages, scripts, integrations	B · Builder	Per-task pay · shipping is the metric
Phones suppliers · works the hit-list	S · Sourcer	Carrot is their daily board · MD-256 their manual

4. What every operator gets · what stays sovereign-only

Every operator sees

Their template card (one of six)
Their own data only — never another operator's
The 7% Covenant badge — always
The Truth Ledger seal stamp on every edit they make
Public-grade pages: Dashboard · DE Engine · Jobs Board · Library

Inner sanctum stays closed. No template card links to: Murphy's Corner internal routes · Hurricane Domain · the Sovereign asset/treasury pages · MD-251 (Access Architecture) · Red Team dashboards · raw Truth Ledger writes · Equilibrium Ledger · the Trust succession docs · MDs marked internal (247, 251, 257).

If an operator asks for access to MD-257 specifically, log it. That request is a promotion signal — the operator has graduated past their template's view but not yet earned the inner room. Note who, when, what they asked about. Do not send the link. The ledger remembers. The Architect decides when the door opens.

5. The Digital Armour link (MD-189 · MD-190 · MD-191)

Digital Armour and Digital Army are the same people, the same documents, the same system. The trilogy holds:

MD-189 — the doctrine (why armour exists)
MD-190 — the registry (the operators · the live PostgreSQL board at /digital-army-registry)
MD-191 — the contract (terms · pay model · escalation)

This document (MD-257) is the navigation layer on top of that trilogy: how to issue a dashboard to a registered operator without rewriting the doctrine.

6. The promotion path

An operator graduates by hitting a measurable. The path is fixed but the timing is theirs.

Promotion is automatic when triggers are met. The operator does not ask. The system flags them. The Architect confirms or holds. No politicking, no requests, no inboxes. The ledger does the noticing.

From	Trigger	To
Verifier	10 batches sealed clean	Gateway or Sourcer (their choice)
Gateway	1,000 deposits/wk for 4 wks	Node Operator
Sourcer	3 suppliers gone Official	Node Operator (their territory)
Node Operator	2 sub-nodes hit Verifier-clean	Red Team candidacy (Architect's call)
Builder	5 shipped pages on the public dashboard	Toolora bench / Dev cell
AML Partner	50 tonnes verified across ≥2 streams	AML Cell lead (Material Ledger custodian)

7. The line

Six templates. One ledger. Everyone earns by doing. No one sees what they haven't earned. The Architect assigns. The Agent ships. The Covenant fires first. 👑
