LIGHT MUST LEAVE AS SOMETHING NEW
The platform classifies every account on a rolling 30-day window: post mostly content you didn't create, without meaningful contribution, and your reach quietly dies. The crystal keeps its own ledger of that window — classifying every post, taking attestations, and refusing to schedule past the margin.
THE FOG THAT COSTS THIRTY DAYS
The distribution domain never reads your file — it reads your account's output, over a rolling 30-day window, and decides what reach it earns. Its cost, in the docs' own words: lose reach + revenue, 30 days to recover. The platform's documented rule is that an account posting mostly content it didn't create over the last 30 days becomes an aggregator: removed from recommendations, cut off from monetization, invisible to non-followers. Recovery requires a fresh 30-day period of mostly original posting. No transformation touches this — only the ratio does.
WHAT THE CRYSTAL CAN DO
| Capability | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Per-account rolling 30-day post classification store | T-091 | LANDED |
| Attestation UI: the removability question, plus free-text contribution | T-092 | LANDED |
| Auto-classification of the enumerated insufficient-contribution cases | T-093 | LANDED |
| Ratio computation with a configurable safety margin above the platform's line | T-094 | LANDED |
| Unoriginal scheduling blocked at the threshold — the gate holds the ship | T-095 | LANDED |
| Recovery-state tracking after an aggregator classification | T-096 | LANDED |
| Publish outcomes feed back into the ledger and the quota | T-101 | LANDED |
| Assertion test that no engagement generation exists anywhere in the codebase | T-090 | LANDED |
LANDED MEANS MERGED WITH TESTS IN THE REPOSITORY — NOTHING HERE IS GENERALLY AVAILABLE YET. THE PLATFORM PUBLISHES NO NUMERIC FLOOR, ONLY "MOST OF THE LAST 30 DAYS" — ANY MARGIN THE CRYSTAL ENFORCES IS OUR OWN CONFIGURABLE ONE, AND IS NEVER PRINTED AS THE PLATFORM'S.
WHAT CLOUDS THE FACETS
Silent reach demotion when the 30-day ratio sinks — no rejection, no error, just an audience that stops arriving. The crystal's ledger sees the ratio move weeks before the fog rolls in, and holds launches while there is still time to turn it.
THE FUNNEL →The four-stage ranking funnel and its integrity filter decide what ever gets shown. Standing kept above the line is what keeps ships inside the recommendation stream at all.
THE RULE ITSELF, WITH CITATIONS — READ THE ORIGINALITY & REACH GUIDE.
OriginalityScore rides publishing-orchestrator, alongside RIGHTSVAULT — it is the third of the three gates a scheduled post must clear there. The window is per account, so a portfolio needs per-account budgets: one account burning its own ratio burns its own reach, no matter how the rest of the fleet behaves.
The crystal never generates light. It only refuses to pass light that leaves exactly as it entered — because an audience can tell, and so can the platform.
WHY HELD AT THE FOURTH GATE IS THE SYSTEM WORKING
