Nine Pillars · status & evidence

Each pillar needs its own current status—not one ecosystem-wide maturity label

Chapter 24 requires pillar-specific current status, allowed wording, forbidden wording, professional boundary, risk level, first low-risk content, pilot evidence and service governance. DEPTH-08 turns that requirement into a reusable status/evidence discipline.

Status family

Direction · Learning · Manual · Prototype · Pilot · Active within defined scope · Under Review · Not Live · Future. A pillar can move between these states by evidence and governance, and different components inside one pillar may have different states.

The public status examples remain bounded

Legal Hub: legal literacy direction, not legal advice. Business Hub: learning/planning, not guaranteed success. Unemployment Buster: employability support, not job guarantee. Mind Beautifier: reflection/EI learning, not therapy. Drug Buster: awareness/referral-oriented, not treatment. Family Harmony: learning/reflection, not counselling unless governed. Green Solutions: local-pilot direction, not full operation. Idea Lab: testing framework, not funding/incubator. aLive Bangladesh: public-awareness vision, not national platform.

One pilot changes only the claim it supports

A private real journey or pilot may justify saying a manual micro-pathway has been attempted or completed. It should not automatically upgrade the public pillar to 'active service.' Preserve the exact evidence, scope and privacy.

Service readiness is a second gate

Before 'service' language, establish who delivers, qualification/authority, scope, exclusions, process, privacy, risk/escalation, payment/refund where applicable, complaint/correction process and evidence of delivery capacity.

Professional review is about authority, not indefinite hiding

Public-safe learning can stay live while professional/service governance develops. But review status cannot be used to imply that a qualified service exists. Learning may publish; consequential professional action needs actual qualified scope.

Reflection

Questions to sit with

  1. What is the current status of this exact component?
  2. What evidence supports a stronger label?
  3. What governance is still missing before service language?
