// who can apply#
Any member of the Sage Discord with an account at least 30 days old, who has posted at least three signal-shaped messages in #alpha-channels.
There's no pay-to-apply or pay-to-pass. The verification gate is editorial — reviewed by oracle-tier ops against the criteria below.
// what reviewers look for#
Specificity. Do your samples name the venue, market, side, entry price, and a why? Or are they 'feels overpriced' shaped? Specific signals get approved; vague ones don't.
Calibration. Across your samples, does the confidence match the move? If you call 'high' on a signal that resolves at +50 bps, that's mis-calibrated. If you call 'low' on something that goes +500 bps, you're under-selling.
Originality. Are you firing signals that aren't already in the feed from someone else? A caller who only re-fires what other callers fired isn't adding edge.
Discord-account age + history. Accounts younger than 30 days are auto-rejected (fraud risk). Accounts with prior bans from any of Sage's connected guilds get extra scrutiny.
// the /apply flow#
1. In Discord, run /apply. The bot prompts you for: a short pitch (200 chars max), the three most recent signal-shaped messages you've posted, and a contact handle (where ops can reach you for follow-up).
2. Application lands in /ops/callers?status=pending. An oracle reviews within ~3 business days.
3. Approval → you get the verified-caller Discord role + an audit row + a DM with next steps. Rejection → you get a DM with a brief reason + a 30-day cooldown before you can reapply.
// after approval#
Your future signals count toward the public leaderboard. /caller/new becomes accessible. Your callerVerified flag flips to true on every signal row showing your name.
Auto-copy unlocks for you — anyone who follows you with auto-copy on will receive your signals to their wallet (when execution ships) within their own per-day + per-trade caps.
You're held to the caller-craft standard. Calls that are obviously low-effort, manipulative, or duplicative of other callers get a private ops nudge; repeat offenses can flip the verified flag back off.
// the cooldown if rejected#
Rejection is not permanent. The 30-day cooldown gives you time to: post more signals in #alpha-channels, improve your specificity + thesis hygiene, and re-apply with stronger samples.
Reapplications go through the same review queue. Reviewers see your prior rejection reason; consistent improvement on that axis is the fastest path through.
