This creates bottlenecks, bias, and single points of failure. The Harper Certification System introduces automated trust — a multi-factor weighted algorithm that selects auditors based on demonstrated behavior rather than appointed authority. By anchoring Auditor status to a 3-tier selection vector — Builder Longevity (40%), Quality Validation (40%), and Joule Collateral (20%) — we have effectively codified trust into executable code.
