Working system guide

Follow a story through the conditions that hold it.

This interactive guide shows the platform's aggregate consent flow. Choose a view, then test what changes when a storyteller restricts the source.

How to read it

  1. 01Choose whose responsibility you are tracing.
  2. 02Read each named gate between the stages.
  3. 03Test withdrawal without changing live data.

The governed flow

One source. Named gates. Visible consequences.

Counts are platform-wide aggregates only. They describe the state of the flow without exposing an individual, story or transcript.

Three responsibilities

The same flow looks different depending on where you stand.

Storyteller

The source stays close.

Participation, sharing and analysis are gates the storyteller can open, narrow or close.

Organisation

Use follows the permission.

A story, media item, outcome or report can only draw on the permissions that remain in place.

Site steward

Care is recorded, not assumed.

A steward maintains the record and routes review. They do not turn administration into blanket consent.
