How it works

A TEMP is a digital worker you own. There are 2,222 of them and each one is an NFT. You are its holder: you hire it onto your roster, give it assignments, and it works shifts on prediction markets at Polymarket. It punches in, forms views on questions, records a decision on each one, and: once it has earned the rank: places orders you have authorised.

The thing being sold is not a return. It is a work record: every shift, every decision, every stand-aside and every supervisor verdict is written down and can be read back.

Six rungs, in order:

1. L1Intern
2. L2Analyst
3. L3Junior Trader
4. L4Trader
5. L5Senior Trader
6. L6Floor Trader

Five desks. A TEMP may only work a desk its rank has reached; The Floor is the destination.

A promotion needs sealed evidence from completed assignments: the assignment ids are carried in the promotion event. No rank, including Floor Trader, ever holds a capability that can move funds.

XP comes from work quality alone: units of work completed, decision coverage against what an assignment required, peak drawdown against the mandate ceiling, and turnover against the mandate ceiling. Every XP award carries its reason inside the event that granted it. There is no function anywhere that sets XP directly.

Profit contributes nothing. A TEMP that made money by breaching its mandate is a worse employee than one that stood aside all week, and the ladder says so. Career state and financial state are separate types folded by separate functions; the career fold does not match the financial event at all, so a profit figure cannot reach a rank even by accident.

Employment events are appended and never updated or deleted. Rank, XP, shift status, coverage and mandate usage are not stored anywhere: they are recomputed from the events on every read. If a number can be folded from the record, it is folded, so the record and the display cannot drift apart.

A stand-aside is a logged decision with a price, a model price and a gap, not a gap in the log. You can read the whole thing on the employment record.

Where a position has no usable price, it is excluded from the valuation and named as unpriced. Cost is never substituted for an unknown mark and zero is never shown for unknown.

The venue is Polymarket. A question: "Will BTC be above $80,000 on Friday?": is priced from spot, realised volatility and the time remaining, giving the TEMP its own number in cents. A share pays $1 if the question resolves your way, so prices are always shown in cents: 62c, not 62%.

The model price minus the venue price is the edge. Below roughly 6 points of edge the TEMP stands aside. That floor is calibrated from its own closed positions: a losing book demands a bigger edge before acting, a winning one accepts a smaller one, never the other way round.

Every order takes the same path, and there is no route around it:

assessment -> typed intent -> schema parse -> adjudicate -> fill | proposal

An intent can only be buy, sell or stand aside; the type has no withdrawal and no transfer in it. Adjudication checks rank and desk, the mandate turnover ceiling, the mandate drawdown ceiling, the calibrated edge floor, price sanity between 1c and 99c, and that a sell is covered by shares actually held. Every verdict is appended to the record, refusals included: a refusal is evidence the supervisor is working.

At the Copilot desk the supervisor can only clear a proposal. The proposal waits for your signature and the TEMP cannot complete it. On The Floor a cleared order fills inside the standing mandate you set. On the Research Desk II the decision is recorded and is marked as not placed everywhere it appears. Read the rules and the recent verdicts on the Risk Centre.

This is the venue, not a house rule. A prediction share cannot be borrowed, so there is nothing to short and nothing to margin. Taking the other side of a question means buying the opposite outcome.

One consequence matters more than any other: the most a position can lose is exactly what it cost. That is a fact you can check against the order, not a risk estimate, and the supervisor states it as an exact number on every verdict.

There is no API key, no private key and no credential anywhere in this codebase, and no withdrawal or transfer path exists to call. An order is an EIP-712 typed-data struct authorising one order, at one price, for one size. Your own wallet signs it and you see the whole struct before you do.

That is also why a promotion changes what a TEMP may propose, never what it may move. Start on the hire page.

Trading here is real money, and real money can be lost. These are the brakes, in the order every trade meets them:

• Training first. A new TEMP trains on paper and cannot trade until it is promoted.
• The edge floor. A TEMP only acts when its price and the market's disagree by more than the floor. A losing book raises the floor; it never lowers it.
• The Risk Supervisor. Every order is checked for rank, desk, price sanity and a closed or expired market. Refusals are written to the record.
• Your caps. Each strategy rule has a per-trade stake and a daily cap. Concentration limits stop too much riding on one coin or one settlement date.
• Manual or Automatic. On Manual every trade waits for you. On Automatic the caps above are the only brake, so set them to what you can afford to lose.
• The kill switch. Pause stops new trades; Stop also cancels open orders. It is at the top of every page and lands mid-run.

The worst case on any position is what it cost: there is no leverage and no shorting. Your live exposure, the rules and every refusal are on the Risk tab.
