Three levels. One direction: up.

The Coderic ranking system is not a badge collection — it is a career path. Each level represents demonstrated, verified capability earned through real project contributions. Higher levels mean better projects, better revenue share multipliers, and higher priority in the matching engine.

Level 1

Coderic Engineer

The entry point for the Coderic network. Engineers have demonstrated foundational competency in the Coderic stack and API-first design principles through at least one merged contribution to an incubated project.

Level 2

Coderic Architect

Architects have shipped at least one funded project through the full I2P cycle and can lead the technical design of a new incubated project independently. They own the architecture review gate for Engineer-level contributors.

Level 3

Coderic Fellow

The highest recognition in the Coderic ecosystem. Fellows have shipped a funded project through all six incubator pillars, contributed to the shared libraries, and have been nominated by the engineering committee. Not applied for — awarded.

How Promotion Works

Engineer → Architect

Complete a full I2P cycleAt least one incubated project completed from the Technical Desiccation phase through Production Hardening.
Lead an architecture reviewSuccessfully lead the technical design review for a seed-stage project, approved by the Coderic engineering committee.
Contribute a reusable moduleMerge at least one module to the shared ecosystem libraries, reviewed and accepted by a Fellow or committee member.
Pass the Architect assessmentA 90-minute technical design session evaluated by two current Architects or Fellows. Assessed on distributed systems design and I2P methodology mastery.

Architect → Fellow

Full six-pillar cycle completedA project incubated, funded, built, deployed, and generating revenue — with you as technical lead through all six pillars.
Ecosystem contribution at scaleAt least three accepted modules in the shared libraries, each with documented use in subsequent incubated projects.
Mentored two Engineers to ArchitectDocumented mentorship of at least two engineers who successfully completed the Architect promotion.
Committee nomination requiredFellowship is not applied for. It is awarded by a majority vote of the current Fellows and engineering committee based on demonstrated ecosystem impact.
