The Task Assignment Corollary: a Guideline

As a corollary of our Code of Honor, we follow the guidelines below when deciding how we assign ourselves to tasks:

• Whenever there is a task to be done and two or more people are interested in being assigned to the task, the more senior member of The Stable Order, as measured by CAT balance, has higher priority.

  • Otherwise, if the task were assigned to a more junior (or even new) member, this could be considered a case of the junior member free-riding on the work of the senior members.

• Conversely, senior members should not unreasonably block the assignment of tasks to junior members, especially if junior members are able to execute the task sooner or at lower cost.

  • Otherwise, this could be considered a case of rent-seeking by the senior members.
