Purpose

Tutor validation protects Academy quality and ecosystem trust.

Scope

Validation may review tutor identity, expertise, course quality, constitutional alignment, reputation, abuse prevention, and governance escalation needs.

Overview

If Axodus Academy allows external tutors, companies, DAOs, or content creators to publish courses, validation rules are required. Tutor validation protects learners, the Axodus brand, Marketplace quality, reward integrity, and governance alignment.

Tutor Types

• Individual tutor
• Verified specialist
• Company tutor
• DAO tutor
• Axodus internal tutor
• ACS-assisted tutor with human accountability

Validation Criteria

• Expertise and relevant experience
• Accurate content examples
• Clear learning structure
• Assessment alignment
• Risk awareness for DeFi, trading, wallet, API, tokenomics, and governance topics
• Constitutional alignment
• Transparent pricing and access terms
• Reward integrity and anti-farming design

Validation Flow

1. Tutor submits profile and requested categories.
2. Initial screening checks completeness and obvious risk flags.
3. ACS assists with profile and sample content review.
4. Human reviewer validates expertise and alignment.
5. Governance review occurs when high-impact, partner, or sensitive categories are involved.
6. Status is assigned.
7. Tutor may submit courses within approved scope.
8. Ongoing monitoring tracks feedback, disputes, abuse flags, and periodic review.

Escalation

Courses or tutors that affect governance, token rewards, financial education, or product access may require additional review.

Sensitive Categories

Trading, DeFi, tokenomics, governance, security, and smart contract development may require stronger review or verified status.

Disputes and Enforcement

Issues may include inaccurate content, misleading financial claims, plagiarism, low-quality courses, reward abuse, refund or access disputes, harassment, or unauthorized Axodus claims.

Possible actions include requesting correction, marking a course as Needs Update, suspending a course, restricting tutor category, suspending or revoking a tutor, escalating to governance, or publishing an accountability note when material.

ACS Role

ACS may review sample content, detect misleading claims, flag missing risk disclosures, compare course objectives to assessments, detect plagiarism signals if supported, summarize learner feedback, and flag suspicious tutor activity. ACS is not final tutor approval for sensitive categories.

Risk Considerations

Poor course quality, misleading financial education, plagiarism, reward farming, and conflicts of interest must be addressed.
