Founding-beta integrity registry

Promises should name their limits.

These public, non-personal records state the Sanctuary’s commitments, limitations, accountable owner roles, operating status, and review freshness. They do not expose applications, participant activity, reviewer notes, or other personal information.

SAN-I-001 · commerce_firewall

Commerce–Sanctuary firewall

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

Purchases, spending, order history, customer segments, and donor status do not determine Sanctuary eligibility, priority, influence, or leadership.

Known limitation

Store administrators can have technical access to both systems; access reviews and separation of duties reduce but cannot eliminate that overlap.

SAN-I-002 · belonging

No pay-to-belong

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

Participation, volunteer applications, appeals, care routes, and exits never require a purchase, donation, or subscription.

Known limitation

Optional merchandise or events may have prices, but payment cannot unlock Sanctuary standing, care priority, or decision power.

SAN-I-003 · spiritual_integrity

No spiritual scoring

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

We do not rank, score, infer, or profile faith, prayer, spiritual maturity, vulnerability, or belonging.

Known limitation

Humans may assess role-specific skills and safety requirements, but those decisions must never be presented as measures of spiritual worth.

SAN-I-004 · consent_and_marketing

No hidden marketing

Beta Review scheduled

Human-accountable AI boundary

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

AI may assist drafting, accessibility, or administrative sorting, but it does not decide spiritual suitability, crisis severity, leadership approval, discipline, or appeals.

Known limitation

Automated security or spam controls may flag messages; a human must review any flag before a consequential decision is made.

SAN-I-006 · governance

Protected dissent

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

Contributors may question leadership and decisions without retaliation, loss of credit, or automatic exclusion from future service.

Known limitation

SAN-I-013 · capacity

Capacity honesty

Beta Review scheduled

Commitment

We show whether applications or programs are accepting, limited, or paused, with a dated human update and a safe next step.

Commitment

Every core action has a readable, keyboard-accessible, reduced-motion path, including a linear alternative to visual or 3D experiences.

Vendor exit readiness

Private reflection system

Sanctuary practices and browser tools

Review in progress
Scope
Scripture reflection, guided paths, lament, reading, private notes, and a browser-only chronological thread.
Visible care boundary
Not emergency, medical, mental-health, legal, or professional pastoral care. Browser data is not encrypted, synced, or backed up, and may disappear.
Review state
Composite scoring removed; editorial, Scripture, care, privacy, and accessibility review remain in progress.
Reviewer status
Named independent reviewers pending
Last reviewed

Sources used
Scripture references displayed in each experience.
Page copy, interaction code, and visible privacy disclosures.
Latest change summary
Removed percentage scoring, added unmeasured private-thread controls, and published care boundaries.

Community system

Commons, Circles and Guilds

Founding beta
Scope
A beta design for small gatherings, bounded contributor teams, and shared stewardship.
Visible care boundary
Examples are not open jobs. Interest is not placement, vetting, safeguarding, employment, leadership, or a professional care relationship.
Review state
Illustrative briefs locked; broad-region privacy and founding operational limits documented.
Reviewer status
Named governance and safeguarding reviewers pending
Last reviewed

Operational forms

Circle, volunteer and beta-feedback intake

Review in progress
Scope
Shopify contact forms for adults to express broad-region Circle interest, apply for bounded unpaid service, or report beta feedback and concerns.
Visible care boundary
Messages route to the configured store contact inbox. Browser-generated references and hidden labels assist lookup but are not trusted case state, automated case management, emergency support, background checks, or guarantees of response or placement.
Review state
Spam-scanned narrative fields, constrained regions, coarse device-only diagnostics, form versioning, accessible receipts, and deletion/status instructions are implemented. Private case-ledger schema is prepared; Forms and Flow automation are not installed.
Reviewer status
Operations owner, privacy owner and reviewer roster pending
Last reviewed
July 22, 2026
Next review target
Target: August 4, 2026
Sources used
Shopify contact-form behavior and spam filtering.
Visible privacy, retention, response-target, status, deletion and beta-feedback instructions.
Latest change summary
Hardened all beta intake forms, added feedback routing and references, and documented the boundary between inbox delivery and real case management.
