# The Task Assignment Corollary: a Guideline

As a corollary of our [Code of Honor](/about-us/the-stable-order/code-of-honor.md), 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](/about-us/the-stable-order/cats.md) 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.
