Learn — Tier 1: The Trained
PUBLIC ENTRY · IQ SUITE / STRINGS SERIESAnyone starts here. LAMPLIGHTERS runs on three tiers — the platform below is the software behind the middle and top tiers (Lamplighter, Warden). Tier 1 lives on the public curriculum, not inside this tool.
The Trained
Completes the public Strings series and/or IQ Suite modules. No account, no gate — anyone can start.
Lamplighter
Certified instructor. Signed the boundary oath, ran a supervised session, carries a verifiable credential and a teaching kit.
Warden
Regional lead. Verifies supervised sessions, signs off on credentials, files aggregate field reports.

Open IQ Suite ↗Certify — the Lamplighter path
FIVE STEPS · WARDEN-VERIFIEDSample candidate: Dana R. · region Gulf Coast FL · tier: trained → lamplighter (in progress). This stepper is the actual certification record shape.
Step 3 — The Boundary Oath PENDING
Defensive. I will teach these tools as a shield, never a sword — not to attack, discredit, or target a person, group, or party.
Nonpartisan. I will name techniques, never sides. I will not use this material to advance a candidate, campaign, or party.
Consent. I will not teach on, record, or report about anyone without their knowledge and agreement to participate.
No surveillance. I will not use these skills to monitor, profile, or build a file on a private individual — in a session or in my community.
I understand a credential issued under this oath can be revoked for a violation of it, logged with actor and timestamp.
Step 4 — Supervised session PENDING
Sample session: Gulf Coast FL public library, classroom cut, 14 attendees, 2026-07-14.
Step 5 — Credential issuance BLOCKED
Hard gate: issuance is disabled until both the boundary oath is signed and the supervised session is Warden-verified.
