# Faction Recruitment

## Current Design Boundary

- Model recruitment as organizational access, screening, socialization, role allocation, trust, retention, refusal, exit, and reintegration—not as a persuasion or exploitation tutorial.
- Faction profiles may declare open application, eligibility gates, institutional sponsorship, invitation-only access, contract work, supporter networks, community auxiliaries, or no independent-actor pathway.
- Every faction needs internal blocs, decision rules, dependencies, oversight, rights concerns, affected-community perspective, legitimacy, tension, and uncertainty.
- Never publish recruitability scores, vulnerability profiles, coercive scripts, covert contact methods, blackmail, target-selection criteria, or instructions for joining real groups.
- Public surface: [Faction Directory](../factions.php#directory) and its browser-local blueprint builder.

Evidence: [faction archetypes reviewed synthesis](../docs/long-term-memory/reports/faction-archetypes-and-recruitment-ecosystems.md#reviewed-synthesis), [worldbuilding-system reviewed synthesis](../docs/long-term-memory/reports/alliance-and-recruitment-worldbuilding-system.md#reviewed-synthesis), and [integration findings](../docs/long-term-memory/reports/alliance-faction-and-network-world-system-integration-report.md#findings).

## Truth Boundary

This record governs fictional organizational design. It does not authorize real recruitment, psychological exploitation, covert support, coercion, profiling, or contact with real organizations.
