DISC Ranks

Organizations on Tythe do not receive DISC Scores — but they do accumulate TCT, and that accumulation determines their official DISC Rank.

DISC Ranks are Tythe’s way of measuring institutional credibility without forcing organizations into the same behavioral scoring system as individuals. This creates a parallel, professional trust model that preserves flexibility while enabling measurable accountability.

What Determines DISC Rank?

An organization’s DISC Rank is determined by:

1. Initial TCT Allocation

→ Assigned at onboarding, based on a rubric of platform impact

→ Factors include: user base, innovation, integrations, grants issued, listings, etc.

2. Ongoing TCT Accumulation

→ Through staking, Credonations, or ecosystem contributions

→ TCT earned is visible on the organization’s TRIS metadata

The more TCT an organization holds, the higher its DISC Rank.

DISC Ranks

Just as individuals are categorized by DISC Score Ratings, organizations are placed into one of five DISC Ranks:

DISC Rank	Meaning	Criteria
Bronze	Minimal ecosystem history	Vetted Status + low TCT
Silver	Established presence, growing adoption	Vetted Status + moderate TCT
Gold	Trusted contributor to internet value	Vetted Status + high TCT
Platinum	Foundational organizations with sustained impact	Vetted Status + top-tier TCT
Black	Platinum + Ethos-aligned leadership in credibility	Invite-only

Why Ranks Matter

DISC Ranks are used to determine:

• Visibility and priority in Tythe indexes (e.g. Cred Chain, integration maps)

• Eligibility to receive Credonations from users

• Influence in protocol governance (via TYT mechanisms)

• Access to verification-based privileges and features

Organizations cannot purchase DISC Rank. It must be earned and sustained through meaningful platform presence.

Key Differences from DISC Scores

	DISC Score (Individuals)	DISC Rank (Organizations)
Based on	TCT + verified behavior	TCT accumulation only
Score or Tier?	Numerical + Rating Bands	Tier-based Ranks
Affects	Credonation, access, indexing	Credibility, access, visibility
Identity System	TRIS	TRIS

DISC Ranks are visible on the organization’s TRIS profile and can be queried by any integration or partner protocol.
