Corrections should not be treated as a back-office function. Every claim-review page and dossier should have a visible “last reviewed” date, a compact change log, and a public correction form. For a site like this, edit history is part of trust-building. The field guide already points in that direction by privileging correction over editor ego; the relaunch should make that value procedural. citeturn3view0

## Community Model and Operating Team

The community model should remain **narrow, review-first, and utility-oriented**. The current member and submit pages already point in that direction: they are adult-gated, explicitly separate roster intake from posting rights, and route submissions into a pending review queue rather than immediately publishing them. That is the right architecture for a site handling politically and religiously charged material. citeturn3view1turn3view2

The crucial operational lesson is that **membership should not be the growth engine**. The archive should be the growth engine. Comments should stay off. There should be no public member profiles, no open forums, no prophecy-chat rooms, and no fast-moving outrage channels attached to the site. Instead, the participation model should be limited to a small number of submission types:

| Submission type | Publishability |
|---|---|
| Documented claim | High, if sources are checkable |
| Correction | Highest priority |
| Public-record note | High |
| Court / hearing observation | High, with process notes |
| Field note | Medium, if clearly labeled |
| Essay / argument | Medium, if genre-labeled |
| Cultural reading | Medium, if clearly non-factual |
| Leaked / sensitive material | Hold for counsel review |
| Named private-person accusation | Reject |
| Apocalyptic person-identification | Reject |

That limited model matches the field guide’s “bring documents, not targets” posture and the contact page’s manual-review language. citeturn3view0turn2view3turn3view2

A minimal staffing model to execute the plan credibly is small but not trivial:

| Role | Minimal commitment | Why it is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Editor in chief / steward | 0.5–1.0 FTE | Voice, standards, final publication approval |
| Managing editor / operations lead | 1.0 FTE | Intake, calendar, staging, corrections, moderation |
| Research editor / fact-check lead | 1.0 FTE | Dossiers, claim review, citations, evidentiary consistency |
| Technical editor / WordPress admin | 0.25–0.5 FTE or contractor | Theme cleanup, metadata, backups, form hardening, privacy audit |
| Fractional legal counsel | Retainer / as needed | Defamation, data handling, subpoenas, high-risk allegations |
| Design / UX contractor | Project basis | Homepage, templates, iconography, publishing system clarity |

If budget is constrained, the real minimum viable team is **three active operators plus fractional legal and technical support**: one editorial lead, one research/verification lead, and one operations/moderation lead. Anything smaller risks turning the site into either an under-reviewed opinion outlet or a stalled archive with good ideals and no throughput. That recommendation is driven by the site’s existing review-first workflow, privacy posture, and the obvious need for redaction and correction infrastructure. citeturn2view3turn3view2turn2view1

## Risks, Assumptions, and Prioritized Implementation

The first 90 days should not be a content sprint alone. They should be a **standards-and-infrastructure sprint** that culminates in public launch only once the archive is coherent.

| Window | Priority tasks |
|---|---|
| First month | Replace “Hello world!”; publish Start Here; publish Standards, Corrections, and Privacy pages; rebuild homepage hero and information hierarchy; create Religion & The Machine section shell; write EO 14202 explainer; noindex member and submission utilities; audit canonical tags and metadata |
| Second month | Publish the next six to eight launch pieces; build the claim-review template and confidence taxonomy into reusable blocks; add dossier template, glossary, source desk, and lawful-action CTAs; connect civil-liberties toolkits to live dossier pages |
| Third month | Open controlled submissions for documented claims, corrections, and public-record notes; begin weekly dossier maintenance and monthly claim reviews; build a public corrections log; run security and privacy audit on forms, plugins, server logs, and embeds |

The timeline below shows the same sequence as a launch chart:

A realistic one-year vision is not “large community.” It is **high-trust archive depth**:

| One-year objective | Target state |
|---|---|
| Evergreen library | 20–30 solid reference pages |
| Dossiers | 8–12 active dossiers |
| Claim reviews | 20–30 published reviews with visible methodology |
| Toolkits | 8–12 lawful-action resources |
| Corrections | Public log, versioning, and reliable review rhythm |
| Community | Tight reviewed submissions, no open comments |
| Search presence | Clean metadata, consistent canonicals, functioning sitemap/feed |
| Reputation | Known for careful symbolic framing and better-than-average evidence hygiene |

The principal risk profile looks like this:

| Risk | How it appears | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-Christian misread | Name outruns method | Put anti-co-optation and pluralism in the hero, Start Here, and Standards |
| Conspiratorial drift | Symbolic rhetoric without evidence discipline | Build claim-review architecture before scaling publishing volume |
| Partisan capture | EO 14202 material turns into slogan repetition | Separate official claims from independent conclusions on every dossier |
| Harassment / defamation | Submissions target private people | Hard reject private-person accusations and living-person Antichrist framing |
| Privacy overclaim | “No tracking” claim ignores plugins/logs/embeds | Publish technical privacy disclosures and audit stack before launch |
| Community toxicity | Open comments or member chat escalates rhetoric | Keep comments off and submissions review-first |
| Search confusion | Canonical/index mismatch persists | Audit Search Console, titles, OG data, canonicals, sitemap |
| Operational burnout | Too few people try to moderate and publish at once | Limit genres, launch in phases, use a small editorial core |

The site’s own public rules already anticipate many of these risks: it rejects threats and illegal action, centers privacy and records, and requires editorial review before publication. The rebirth strategy should therefore be understood as **a formalization of the site’s own best instincts** rather than an imported restraint regime. citeturn2view0turn2view1turn2view3turn3view1turn3view2turn3view0

The rebirth plan also depends on several unspecified constraints that were not provided and should be treated as active planning assumptions:

| Unspecified constraint | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Budget | Determines whether the site can sustain fact-checking, design work, and legal review |
| Team size and availability | Determines whether the plan can launch as an archive or must launch as a smaller desk |
| Legal counsel availability | Critical for any site accepting submissions about public institutions, religion, and potential misconduct |
| Hosting and infrastructure details | The public site strongly suggests WordPress, but hosting, security setup, and plugin stack were not specified |
| Timeline beyond 90 days | Affects whether one-year goals should be framed as aggressive or conservative |
| Search Console / analytics access | Needed to fix indexing issues and verify sitemap/canonical health |

The current site strongly suggests WordPress, but not enough is publicly visible to know the hosting, security, and plugin environment. That limitation should be stated plainly in planning documents. citeturn3view3turn2view3turn3view2

The immediate implementation checklist should therefore be:
