Contracts
Contracts are the paid route through the Real-Identity Workplace. Two shapes run here, and the difference is deliberate: projects are finite — a defined scope with an end and a deliverable — while operations are periodic, renewing term by term rather than completing.
Pay and terms are the Tech Board’s to set; each engagement is contracted on its own terms. You reach contract work by proving yourself on public work first — the record built in proving is what the Workplace recruits from — and what’s currently open is tracked on the contract docket.
(Stub — expand: how projects and operations are scoped, how the docket surfaces open work, the recruitment path.)
