Authoring a Seed Role
How a jurisdiction team takes a role from a loose idea to a verification-ready Seed Role, all inside the builders.
A Seed Role is a jurisdiction-scoped role authored as the starting point for verification. You build it up in the Role Builder, then track its readiness in the Seed Role workspace.
This journey is for editors and jurisdiction authoring teams. Verification — inviting practitioners to confirm the relationships — is covered separately once a role is ready.
The four-rung ladder
Every Seed Role advances through four authoring-completeness rungs. The workspace computes the current rung from live data — nothing is stored.
- 1Loose — Create the role with a title, summary and country code. With no core profile attached yet, it sits at the first rung.
- 2Profiled — Attach at least one core competency profile — by searching the catalogue or creating one inline without leaving the builder.
- 3Detailed — For every attached profile, classify each item with an IRI and an ICI, and link its information uses.
- 4Ready — Once the role also clears the publish gate it is ready — publishable, and the precondition for opening a verification round.
Authoring without leaving the session
The Role Builder's Edges tab carries a profile picker: search the published-profile catalogue and attach a match in one click.
If a role needs a profile that does not exist yet, create one inline from the Edges tab — it is minted as a draft and attached as a supporting edge straight away.
Each attached edge's IRI and ICI chips are editable in place: open the chip and pick a level. The edit is saved through the same path classification changes use.
The Seed Role workspace
The per-jurisdiction workspace lists every role the market surfaces, grouped by authoring-completeness rung, with the progress signals and a launch point into the Role Builder for each one.
What ready unlocks
When a Seed Role reaches ready, the workspace surfaces a launch point for a verification round — where invited practitioners confirm the role's relationships. Verification rounds arrive in a later milestone.
