Visual framework of the Capital Graduation Concept showing how trust is earned through disciplined Micro Harvesting, from probe-level capital to graduated conviction and sunset status.📘 Capital Graduation Concept (Levels as Trust)
Policy Name: Capital Graduation Concept (Levels as Trust)
Version: v1.0
Status: ✅ LOCKED
Effective Date: December 21, 2025
Applies To: Micro Harvesting Portfolio (all active, dormant, and reactivated positions)
1. Purpose
This concept defines the philosophical foundation of the Level system in Micro Harvesting.
Its objectives are to:
-
Clarify what Levels truly represent
-
Prevent misinterpretation of Levels as performance rewards
-
Anchor promotion and demotion decisions in behavior, not emotion
-
Align capital allocation with earned trust
-
Preserve long-term portfolio discipline
Levels exist to measure trustworthiness of capital deployment, not optimism about outcomes.
2. Definition of Capital Graduation
Capital Graduation is defined as:
The deliberate increase in capital responsibility granted to a stock based on sustained rule compliance, behavioral stability, and time-tested reliability.
Graduation is earned, never assumed.
3. Levels as Trust, Not Prediction
Levels do not represent:
-
Expected upside
-
Forecasted price appreciation
-
Analyst conviction
-
Recent performance strength
Levels do represent:
-
Behavioral consistency
-
Predictability of response
-
Low intervention requirement
-
Alignment with system objectives
Trust increases only when uncertainty decreases.
4. Time as a Mandatory Ingredient
No stock may graduate through Levels without time exposure.
Time validates:
-
Reaction to adverse conditions
-
Compliance during boredom
-
Stability during drawdowns
-
Discipline during favorable cycles
Price alone cannot substitute for time.
5. Asymmetry Between Promotion and Demotion
Capital graduation is asymmetric by design:
-
Promotion is slow, deliberate, and rare
-
Demotion is fast, neutral, and corrective
This asymmetry protects the portfolio from:
-
Overconfidence
-
Familiarity bias
-
Escalation of commitment
Trust is easy to revoke and difficult to earn.
6. Capital Responsibility Increases With Level
As Levels increase:
-
Capital size increases
-
Tolerance for volatility decreases
-
Monitoring intensity must decrease
-
Intervention frequency must decline
If higher-level capital requires more attention, graduation has failed.
7. Relationship to Level 6
Level 6 represents the highest trust state, not the highest return expectation.
Level 6 capital is expected to:
-
Stabilize the portfolio
-
Reduce cognitive load
-
Operate quietly within defined limits
Excessive trading of Level 6 capital violates the graduation principle.
8. Relationship to Other Governance Protocols
This concept underpins and informs:
-
Level Promotion / Demotion Protocol v1.0
-
Level 6 Capital Concentration Rules
-
Harvesting Policy v1.0
-
SUNSET Governance & Reactivation Protocols
In case of ambiguity:
-
Governance rules override performance narratives.
9. Behavioral Safeguards
The portfolio manager shall not:
-
Treat higher Levels as a badge of pride
-
Promote to justify past effort or losses
-
Resist demotion due to familiarity
-
Equate conviction with trust
Confidence without discipline is not trust.
10. Meta-Rule
Capital is promoted when it needs less supervision, not more belief.
