ROLE HANDOFF

Role Handoff

A public guide for which role should read the next visible checkpoint, without creating a case result or action.

Handoff limits

Role handoff helps users find the right page, not decide the case.

AreaUser seesLimit
Next pageWhich role page fits the current checkpointNo hidden routing
Hold reasonWhy a role should pause before moving onNo final outcome
Private materialOnly public status and reference labelsNo protected detail

This page keeps Sponsor, Hunter, Owl, and Reader movement clear while final result authority stays separate.

CaseUnder review
Next roleDepends on checkpoint
ActionNo funds move
Notice: This page only tells users which case page to read next. It does not select a winner, reject a report, publish private material, move funds, or close the case.

Handoff summary

Every role should know what to inspect next and when to stop.

Sponsor: checks scope, funding reference status, challenge questions, and result readback without treating the page as a payment request.

Hunter: checks evidence labels, reveal state, receipt status, and hold reasons without exposing protected material.

Owl: checks open questions, risk labels, and safety pauses without deciding award, rejection, or payout.

Reader: checks the public status path and understands what remains pending.

Sponsor

Scope and questions

Review scope, funding reference status, and challenge questions without starting a payment action.

Hunter

Evidence and reveal

Check submission status and reveal labels while protected details remain hidden.

Owl

Risk and pauses

Name missing references, mismatch, or private-material holds without deciding the case.

Reader

Public status

Follow the readable case path and see which record is still pending.

Result

Read only

Result status is read when present, but no winner, rejection, transfer, or closure is created here.

Safety

Stop clearly

Unsafe next steps stay paused until the public hold reason is resolved.

Safe next steps

Handoff works only when each next step stays inside its role boundary.
