Readiness Philosophy
Readiness is not a feeling. It is not a reputation. It is not a credential issued by proximity to the right institution. Readiness is a pattern — observable, documentable, and computable.
The BRSA readiness model rejects subjective assessment entirely. Every readiness determination is produced by applying a versioned ruleset to a structured evidence record. The same evidence, evaluated by the same ruleset, produces the same result every time. This is the foundation of a credible standard.
"Readiness is deterministic. If your method produces different results under the same conditions, you do not have a method — you have an opinion."
FRARI Ruleset
FRARI — the Foundational Readiness and Accreditation Ruleset for Individuals — is the scoring engine at the core of every BRSA assessment. It is versioned, published, and applied consistently. Every assessment record contains the exact ruleset version used to compute the score.
Version 1.0.0 implements a weighted composite model — four independently scored sub-dimensions are combined into a single readiness score between 0 and 100. This replaces the point-accumulation model of v0.1.0 with a structured, domain-aligned evaluation framework governed by certified BRSA evaluators operating within the Legacyline platform.
Each version is permanently archived. No assessment may be recomputed under a different ruleset version than the one active at the time of evaluation.
Composite Scoring Model
The FRARI v1.0.0 composite score is computed from four weighted sub-scores. Each sub-score is derived from structured evidence collected by a certified BRSA evaluator and processed deterministically by the Legacyline readiness engine.
The composite score is computed by the Legacyline readiness engine — never by the evaluator. Evaluators record evidence. The engine computes scores. This separation is a foundational design principle of the BRSA standard.
Five Canonical Indicators
Five indicators structure the BRSA assessment framework. Each maps directly to one or more composite sub-scores. Evaluators assess evidence within these indicator boundaries — they do not assign indicator ratings directly.
Readiness States
Every registry record carries one of three canonical readiness states. States are computed, not assigned. They reflect evidence, not opinion. A state may only change through a new governed assessment cycle.
Trajectory is tracked independently of state. A participant may hold a Yellow state with an improving trajectory — signaling readiness for state advancement at the next assessment cycle.
Assessment Lifecycle
Every BRSA assessment passes through a defined six-stage lifecycle. No stage may be skipped. Each stage is logged to the immutable ledger with a timestamp and actor identifier.
Publication Rules
BRSA applies strict data minimalism to every public record. What is published is fixed by doctrine — not by organizational preference or individual request.
