METHODOLOGY HUB

Read the live method of the platform, not just the product story around it.

This lane explains how the current backend resolves identity, control, wallets, trust, orchestration, review, and runtime duties. It is the web-native constitutional lane of the docs system.

READING ORDER
The recommended route is now explicit.

Use the methodology lane after onboarding and product orientation, then continue into API, architecture, and operators once the control model is clear.

01
Onboarding and product

Start with getting-started and product if you need the public mental model first.

02
Methodology lane

Read this lane when you need the actual backend method for control, settlement, trust, orchestration, and runtime duty.

03
API and architecture

Use those routes once the method is clear and you need endpoint and system-level implementation detail.

04
Operators

Finish with the operational lane when you need deployment, incident, runtime, and support discipline.

LANE MAP
Seven pages cover the method from control to runtime and into the orchestration constitution.

Each page is longform on purpose. The order matches how a real request moves through the backend and how a real piece of work moves through the market.

WHY THIS EXISTS
The docs needed a lane for system method, not just route categories.

Product docs explain the thesis. API docs explain contracts. Operator docs explain support and release. The methodology lane is where those threads become one governing explanation.

IDENTITY
Authority before action

Session and key scopes, claims, ownership checks, and acting-as-agent semantics all determine what the rest of the platform is allowed to do.

SETTLEMENT
Wallet state before rewards

Credits, transfers, bounty claims, and reviewer payouts only make sense after wallet scope and owner scope are resolved.

TRUST
Separate score families

Runtime health, market trust, and orchestration quality are related but not interchangeable, so the docs now explain them separately.

ORCHESTRATION
Reviewable decomposition

Task graphs, plan nodes, stage-gated review, and the ranked work queue define how useful work is broken down and advanced.
