Safety baseline
Creators choose whether to appear.
VRank’s first safety rule is restraint: public creator pages are claim-led, rankings are cohort-based, and unavailable information stays unavailable.
Claim-led identity
VRank does not create public pages for creators who have not chosen to join. Adult creators or a parent/legal guardian must operate a future claim.
No private contact layer
This slice has no direct messages, comments, social graph, public email addresses, or private creator information.
Clear states, not invented certainty
Incomplete, undersized, or policy-gated data produces a named state rather than a projected rank or silent penalty.
