I. What the Roster is
The Qualified Capacity Roster is the gated registry of shops in standing on the Qualified Capacity Ladder, and the practitioners who steward them. The directory is held to a Zero Trust posture: viewing access is granted only to vetted viewers — community members and enterprise partners who have completed identity verification, role and DIB-relevance vetting, and accepted Roster usage terms. Each entry names a shop, the location of the shop, the tier of standing it carries, the date of conferral, the next-due Review, and the current standing state. Information about practitioners, shops, and standings carries mosaic relevance in aggregate; the vetting boundary is what keeps it from becoming targeting intelligence. The reciprocity is consent-gated: Roster entries optionally name attached practitioners; /ladder entries optionally name attached shops — both directions consent-gated.
The Roster is the subject of the QC 2031 commitment. It is the surface where the commitment is measured: how many shops in the Defense Industrial Base supplier base reach standing, how many remain in standing through change, how the supplier base’s eligibility is preserved over time. The Ladder names the people in standing; the Roster names the shops they steward. The two are coupled. The practitioner-side surface is /ladder.
II. How the Roster is built
Two onboarding pathways feed the Roster. Practitioners pursue standing through the Apprentice path — qualifiedcapacity.com/apprentice. Standing-holders appear on the Roster. When an Apprentice Steward is conferred standing, the shop where the body of work was assembled enters the Roster alongside the practitioner; the standing is structurally coupled to the shop’s ongoing posture.
Primes, higher-tier integrators, OEM strategic sourcing, MEP centers, and supporting organizations onboard through a vetted partnership intake — reach network@qualifiedcapacity.com to begin. The enterprise-partner pathway is for organizations whose interest is reading the Roster (sourcing decisions, supplier development, ecosystem mapping) rather than appearing on it. Onboarding goes through domain allowlist, role confirmation, and acceptance of Roster usage terms.
III. How to view the Roster
The directory itself sits behind the vetting process; sign-in is the technical step at which a viewer who has completed vetting reaches the directory. Once a vetted viewer signs in, the Roster shows the seven public fields per entry: practitioner name, shop name, location, tier of standing, date of conferral, next-due Review, and standing state.
